Tuna ... is great for delicious low carb meals

Tuna is a good source of protein and may be enjoyed for lunch or dinner; I do find that canned tuna can make a great low carb meal. If you use canned tuna try to choose high-quality, MSC - labelled tuna fish - which stands for the Marine Stewardship Council Fisheries Standard, so you know it’s certified sustainable.

I make tuna or salmon croquettes with egg, finely chopped onions, 1 egg for five ounce can of tuna, salt and pepper. I add oats, formerly adding crushed crackers. I love them and so does Tommy. He would not like the other recipes, so I would never cook them. Salmon croquettes were what my mother made, but one day I only had a can of tuna, so used that.

It's easy to find tuna fish in local markets here in my corner of the world. Your recipe of tuna fish casserole seems interesting. I will give it a try, although I would have never thought of fish cooked with butter. We mainly use olive oil.

Have a nice and sunny 1st Sunday of July,

I used to really enjoy a tuna casserole. I haven't made one in ages. Thank you for the reminder. I think I'll pass on the burgers though. I've never been one for making burgers. All that sticky mess all over my hands and then I end up getting it everywhere. I can be quite messy in the kitchen.!

I like tuna but usually cold like in a salad or something. I don't really like it when it's been cooked.
