Excellent! I didn't have tuna steaks, so I just used two 7 oz family size packages of Star Kist tuna and it was the perfect amount for 6 regular-sized patties.

Yum !!! Very exotic taste. Didn't make as a burger with bun . Served them on top of an Asian style cole slaw accompanied with Jasmine rice. Drizzled with soy sauce and a peanut dressing, garnished with lime wedges. I used Japanese bread crumbs. Have made it 4 times already. It helps if the tuna is slighty frozen when mincing.

This recipe was excellent. Being that we don't eat any meat except fish this was a great alternative to the veggie burger we usually eat. Way to go Dakota for such a great recipe. We served with tomato, lettuce, and wasabi mayo.

I made these with ground ginger and regular onion as that's what I had on hand, and I cooked them on the Foreman grill. They turned out really well! We had them on Kaiser rolls with a lick of wasabi mayo. The next time I make them - and I will actually make them again! - I'll add more sesame oil, and less cilantro. Thanks, Dakota!

Very good! My picky husband really liked it so that alone makes it worth 5 stars. I only had 1lb of fresh tuna, so I scaled it down to 4 servings. I still used 1 egg and added a little extra breadcrumbs(Panko). I was surprised that they held together quite well. Served with an Asian cole slaw recipe from this site. I put the slaw on the burger but next time I will serve it on the side because the peanut sauce overwhelmed the tuna. Thanks for the recipe!

These were outstanding. Apart from the fish chopping, the recipe was very quick and easy.

These burgers were oustanding! I made them for my dad for Father's Day, and he really enjoyed them! I was not a fan of tuna until now! We bought the tuna from the local seafood market here at the Jersey Shore. We just made some renovations to our house including the kitchen so I had to make some adjustments which ended up benefiting the burger's outcome. I could not find the grater for the carrot therefore I finely diced the carrot. I also used Old Bay seasoning instead of cumin. I served them along side some grilled zucchini and squash that I light brushed with soem EVOO, as well as some corn on the cob. Also when cooking the burgers, I grilled them rather than placing them in the broiler. When I grilled them, I placed each pattie into aluminum foil which prevented the pattie from breaking apart on the grill and helped achieve and maintain that "burger" shape. Again these were great, and definitely a healthy choice! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!

Okay for something different. But pretty bland considering all of the ingredients. I doubt I'll make it again.

YUM-O! very good recipe!! I wasn't sure I wanted to mince up my nice tuna steaks, but it was more than worth it for the flavor of these burgers! I took the advice of others & made a few changes: I used 1 tsp green curry paste in place of cumin, omitted the ketchup, left out the cilantro, used more ginger (I like stuff spicy), only used 1 lb. of steaks b/c that's what I had, and served it over Jasmine rice with "The Best Thai Peanut Sauce" by Stephanie M. (heeded others advice with that recipe too). I served the cilantro on the side. YUMMY!! Yea, the ingredient list might be a little strange for both this & the peanut sauce, but wow are they good! I'd recommend tasting the tuna burger first before putting the peanut sauce on it, you may find you like it as is; the peanut sauce gives in an entirely new, but just as good, flavor. My husband loved this as well; it goes in the make-again-soon pile! Thanks Dakota for a great recipe!
