I've used the albacore tuna for fish cakes in the past.
Not bad at all and using the same recipe as for crabcakes.
Always fried in butter too.

I also have a small can (5oz) of boneless salmon that I
bought many years ago to make salmon cakes like Jill does.
Not sure whether to make cakes, or just a salmon salad to
eat on bread, like you would use tuna for.
