Tuna CutletsHere's one more reason to increase your "oily" fish intake-the omega-3-fatty acids found in fish have shown to halt and slow down the age-related macular degeneration (AMD), in lay-man's terms: AMD basically is a medical condition which is mostly seen in older adults and results in the loss of vision in the center of the visual field.
The research and findings conducted by Dr Elaine Chong at the University of Melbourne,Australia, involved 90,000 participants and showed that a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids could cut the risk of developing AMD by 38%.
Experts suggest eating oily fish like salmons,mackerel,tuna,shellfish and herring about twice a week to get the benefits of omega-3!
Sources:
Mom would first steam mackerel,then take out the bones and mix it with mashed potatoes and coat them in rava/ semolina instead of using bread crumbs. Rava absorbs much less oil and tastes equally nice. I used canned tuna,but it tastes great with just about any fish you fancy.

I didn't know fish was good ofr your eyes. Tuna cutlets is a wonderful idea. I just wish my family enjoyed tuna as much as I do.
My mom used to make tuna patties when I was younger, but they were never this flavorful. These sound great! I saw that article this week. I love the fish that fall into that category so I'm glad to have reason to enjoy them more. :)
Awesome... Very healthy and yummy!
I made fish cutlets too this weekend....
good info about fish and delicious recipe!
i eat fish 2-3 times a week, really love it! :)
Tuna cutlets are very new to me...they look simply delicious :)...does this recipe work with salmon too?
nice - I love tuna...
Mmmm they look yummy! Funny you'd post this today bc I just decided I need to eat more fish. I started taking fish oil and tonight I ate a big ol' piece of trout fried in ghee. Delicious!
Mmmm...Tuna. I love tuna or any kind of fish for that matter. =)I didn't know it could help the eyes. I gotta eat more of them then.
Thats really lookin so crispy and yumm...
...not nearly enough. But this looks awesome!
Great post, with some wonderful info! I have great eyes, and I really think it's due to my high intake of omega-3 and carotene (from carrots especially). Both of my parents have awful eyes, yet I've never needed glasses or anything! I should knock on wood....
I take about 1200 mg of fish oil a day, plus I eat fish 1-2 times a week. I tend to order fish a lot when I go out to dinner, since I'm not the best at preparing it myself!
they look great love fish cakes, I make something similar and fab info love ya Rebecca
Tuna cutlets look delicious and healthy! At home we used to have fish daily but after coming here its limited to twice a week!
We call fish patties or meat patties 'cutlets' in Russia/ukraine too! Love these, so yummy! We eat different kinds of seafood about twice a week.
I should really eat more fish. I'm as blind as an owl.
I used to love fish, but don't cook it so often because it's more expensive than other sources of protein.
Thx for visiting my blog..Your blog looks gorgeous..Yummy and healthy cutlets..
These look great! I have never tried to make these but I have eaten them and I really enjoyed the flavor.
Another reason to eat more tuna...and patties..
Thank you for sharing this recipe.
Such a wonderful post - delicious and informative! Thank you so much! I was quite fascinated to read that omega 3s can slow AMD - how fantastic! We try to eat fish at least 3 times a week, but sometimes it's challanging for economic reasons, hence your recipe with canned tuna is p-e-r-f-e-c-t!! I will definitely fix it soon - I can wait to introduce it to our dinner table! :-) Thank you for the terrific recipe!
i try to eat 3 servings of fish per week..does tuna sandwich counts? =) i make tuna spread and store it in the fridge...its a staple..how i love tuna..i put it on pasta! =)
Healthy cutlets, i used to have those codliver oil tablets when i was young :)

I like how you always include some valuable information with the yummy recipes! The cutlet looks so good!
I just recently read about AMD and omega3's in Eating Well. Good to know. Your cutlets look great! My Mom used to make fish cakes with mackerel, but she used crushed crackers for a coating.
It looks delicious! As a fish addict I always love hearing things like this! I would die if they told me fish was unhealthy. :P
Katherine,Jenn:now you know :)
Lori:we make a version without fish too-it's called alu tikkis(potato patties) which taste equally good with mint chutney/tomato sauce.
HCOF:great!
Coco,Pooja,Parita:good for you(and your eyes)!
