Tried the recipe as listed and it was GREAT! I usually don't like mustard but the dijon mustard makes it.

I live on an island where codfish was always easily available (you can still get it but it has gotten freakishly expensive. One of our tradtional foods are salt fish cakes that are made from salted cod, potatoes, savory and onion. They are honestly one of my favorite foods and I eat them whenever I can....THIS RECIPE IS WAAAYYY BETTER THAN THEM
They are very delicate tasting (which is nice and it still has a comfort food feeling that alot of healthier foods lack. (I know they are fried but the content are quite low in fat
One thing I did try as I did not have any lemons on hand was to put a tbs of dill pickle juice in instead. It was perfect in my opinion as I do enjoy dill with fish.
These are easy to make and are just perfect for lunch with a side salad. (I didn't eat all of them for lunch but I probably could have :P

These were so good. My husband made them for me; he had to use canned tuna (packed in olive oil...so much better!!! and we didn't have dijon mustard so we left that out, but they turned out great. The panko bread crumbs gave them an awesome crunch. He also made a chipotle aeoli to dip them in and that went very well with these. I would highly recommend this recipe for anyone who is looking for something that is very tasty and also fast and easy.

I'm a firm believer in the superiority of pouch tuna, and this is my favorite use for it! It's like an awesome crab cake, but without the crab price tag.

I've always oogled the new gourmet flavored pouch tunas at the grocery store and wondered what they would be good for - this is it! mmm mmm mmm...

I am a religious viewer of Good Eats, since it's the only thing on tv when I get off work at 1 am. I made this recipe with a few alterations based on what I had on hand: yellow mustard instead of dijon, regular breadcrumbs instead of panko and 2 cans of tuna instead of the pouch. Had to use more crumbs and less mustard but it came out great! A perfect 3 AM snack!

I added some fresh chopped mushrooms, chopped red and green peppers, garlic and instead of the dijon mustard I added a little tabasco sauce for a little spice! The panko bread crumbs are a must for this the that extra CRUNCH!

Who cares that they're healthy? (I do! But my hubby didn't even bother with the usual, " How is this healthy for me?" The crispy, lightly fried (in olive oil, btw croquettes make a great disguise for picky "love-deep-fried-chicken" eaters. I might try crab next time cuz my 7-yr-old Tyler wasn't too happy with the tuna. But if your kids already love tuna, they'll devour these. I think it's important to try and drain as much water from the tuna. Let the patties sit for the 15 min on parchment/wax paper...it may help with the marrying of the flavors and drying any water in the tuna? I also put them on a cookie rack over paper towels after cooking for a few minutes, like the recipe said. Mine turned out perfectly crisp!

I first made this recipe not having seen the video and using 2 smalls cans tuna (well drained and shallots (what was on hand. It was still quite soggy when I slipped them into the pan, ever so carefully. They splattered and spluttered (I put in too much olive oil and vegetable oil. They never got their outter bread crumb dunking (way too soggy. All that, and they STILL came out lovely! The second time I made the recipe, I watched the video and followed the recipe and Alton's instructions. They came out better, of course, and I really enjoyed them. The one pouch is perfect for 8 croquettes, and that makes for a terrific dinner for two, served up with a big mixed green salad and homemade ranch dressing (nice for the tuna croquettes too. A small cup of chowder would make this a fancy dinner at my house. (Will make again and try new sauces...would love some ideas from other foodies.
