About Tuna cake

Tuna cake is a filling and flavorful dish often associated with coastal cuisines around the world. This savory patty is made from flaked canned or cooked tuna, mixed with ingredients like breadcrumbs, eggs, diced onions, herbs, and spices. Some variations might also include vegetables like bell peppers or grated carrots for added texture and nutrients. Typically pan-fried or baked, tuna cakes are a rich source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health and brain function. They are relatively low in carbohydrates, making them a suitable option for some low-carb diets. However, if fried in excessive oil or paired with heavy sauces, the calorie and fat content can increase significantly. Versatile and easy to prepare, tuna cakes are often enjoyed as a light main dish, in sandwiches, or atop salads, offering a balance of nutrition and flavor in every bite.
