What else can you do with tuna fish besides the same old tuna sandwich , any good recipes?

i hate the stuff. usually won't touch it with a 10 foot pole. my dh, on the other hand, loves it. i saw paula deen make this a few years back, and out of pure love for my dh, i made them one night. needless to say, they are now a staple in our house. even i love them, and that says a lot!!! the fact that they're quick, cheap, and easy doesn't hurt either ;)
