     To all the Nay-Sayers: I'd almost decided to NOT try this recipe due to negative comments. Made it last night, by the recipe (did not drain fish) and it was incredible. My DH who dislikes tuna or salmon loaf said it was delicious and even ate a second portion. Just try it!!! - 5/25/10

     I think comments should only be made by those who have tried the recipe. - 4/18/09

     After adding all listed ingredients my loaf-mix was crazy-dry. Then I realized, hey! there's no binding agent in this recipe! Added an egg and some milk to keep it from turning to dust in the oven, but in the end it was still too crumbly for my definition of a "loaf." Tasted great w/tomato slices. - 4/11/07

     Please stop rating something pooryly if you haven't tried the recipe yet. What's the point of the rating system if you have no idea what the end product tastes like? Quit rating without trying! - 5/24/10

     I've often made salmon loaf but have never tried a mixture of the two; salmon and tuna. Like Mom before me, I used a lg. can salmon, 2-3 slices fresh bread crumbs, 1 egg, seasonings of choice, and chopped onion and/or celery. This served 4-6 people; always good. - 4/11/09

     It works. It made more than 6 servings though - maybe 8 large? I guess the 2 tbsp of oil is what kept it together. It was better than I expected! I might add a tbsp of eggbeaters next time. - 3/1/08

     All you people screaming about binders - have you tried it as is? RETRACMJ has and says it WORKS. I will do the original version, maybe it doesn't need any further flavours as fish should not be swamped. Classical fish recipes are a delicate taste. Please nix the garlic with everything trend. - 4/11/09

     I made it for my lunch and my 17 and 21 year old daughters were curious about what I was making. They surprised me by asking if they could taste it. Next thing I know I'm sharing the dish with them. Even my husband liked it and he has to be the fussiest person on earth. - 3/2/08

     This was delicious. My great grandmother always made fish patties for us and I never knew her recipe. This taste almost as good as hers. Loved this recipe, will make again.
    **I don't understand the negativity. If the recipe is not your cup of tea, move on to something that is! Ppl shouldn't be rude - 7/23/10

     I make something similar all the time that I call salmon loaf. Drain the pink salmon, add bread crumbs, 1 egg, spices, lil mayo, maybe mustard, garlic. Mix up like a meat loaf, put small glass pan and bake at 350 for 40 mins. Husband loves it too. Economical , tasty, good for ya. - 3/1/08

     You don't need a binder if you don't drain the fish. Use the juice in the cans, and it will bind together and be plenty moist. - 5/26/10
  • SPARKLE72023
     Sounds fine to me. We'll probably eat it "fish taco" style with corn tortillas and add chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes and raw onions as toppings. GREAT & HEALTHY IDEA !! Thanks for the nice recipe & new cooking idea. - 4/11/09
  • BUDDHARUNNER
     I agree with LISAPEPPAN about adding several spices and some kind of binder. I appreciate the submission however as I would have never thought of a fish loaf.
    I wouldn't mind trying a light yogurt and dill sauce on the side when cooking is finished. Good recipe to be creative with! - 3/1/08
  • FOSTER1001
     Wow - what's up with all the negative comments? - 5/24/10
  • CHRISTELW
     Yes - I'm gonna try it too - without the binder. The person who cooked it would not have listed it, if it had not worked, so I'm gonna give it a go. - 10/7/09
  • GGMOM06
     1ST SP do review all recipes(i had one rejected) and 2nd it your not going to try it as stated,then don't remark on it in the Negative! If you don't like fish,forget it and go get points from another recipe! We are all just trying to help each other,RIGHT? - 7/22/10
  • QUILTYGIRL
     Why don't you try it before you comment. I want to see reviews of those who have done so. So much negativity here. - 7/22/10
  • IAMDESSIE
     You need to drain the can of salmon and the cans of tuna, then add 4 tbsp lemon juice or use 2 large lemons to add flavor to the salmon and tuna. - 7/22/10
  • YIAYIA-THALIA
     It was wonderful. I will make this again. Thanks for sharing. - 5/31/10
  • AKATUJE
     I made this with some milk and butter and not the olive oil. I covered the dish. It came out really soft and yummy....hubby looked at it before he tasted it and was prepared not to like it. He ended up eating more than half of it. Will definitely be making it again. - 5/24/10
  • LISAPEPPAN
     You're right, Actionjackson44, a binder is missing. When I give this recipe a try, I'll be adding a large free-range egg, some lemon juice, paprika, chives, and about a teaspoon of finely minced garlic. Might substitute oat bran for the bread crumbs. Tomato slices sound like a great addition. - 3/1/08
  • CFSHIELD
     I tried a variation of this for dinner last night. Pureed some salmon filets I had to mix in with the canned tuna, un-drained. Used a different set of spices, and stuck with the bare bones recipe... Used saltines instead of wheat bread, and mixed in some shredded sharp cheddar cheese before baking. - 9/2/10
  • SHARONBARNES
     I don't usually rate without making but I think this sounds yummy! Can't wait to try it, I will add some onions and garlic though!! Thanks! - 7/24/10
  • MARYLOBENAL
     I love it and I will share it with my friends. - 7/15/09
  • CANEY3
     I think I will stay with my mothers recipe. It called for dried dill, egg whites, garlic and motzah meal. - 4/11/09
