I sometimes make fish balls, like meatballs, but out of canned salmon or tuna. Its good as an appetizer with horseradish.

First of all, in Israel my cousins makes her own gefilte fish using cans of tuna and salmon. I can try to get you the recipe if you PM me.
second of all, once in a while I make a salad that is made from tuna, kasha and hard boiled eggs. It's in cookbest - Best of the Heimishe. we really like it.
Some people serve egg salad, chopped liver, with some vegetables for 1st course/appetizer

you can steam whitefish, too. I personally don't find gef expensive, but I'd add more matza meal and carrots to stretch it, and cut the pieces smaller if I did.

there are cheaper brands, too. I think ungar's is the cheapest.....sometimes before yomtov there are sales, if you ask around, and you can get a case for a bargain.

Okay, above are gefilte fish recipes you can make at home with tuna. I HAVE NOT TRIED ANY OF THEM. Also, they are not my cousin's recipe. I am not in touch with her, but if you nudge me, I can try emailing her (if I even have the right email address).

Only if you portion it out before Shabbos. Putting food into a special shape is forbidden since it's the melacha of moreach.
Of course you could always spoon egg salad onto the plate...

Not everyone holds that its assur to use a scooper on shabbos..

Bonzie, on the slight chance that you see this post - could you be alittle more specific about how to make the tuna roll? It sound delish!

My family doesn't like fish, so we don't usually have gefilte. We eat salads & dips with the challah, sometimes I'll make something like pastrami in puff pastry or stuffed grape leaves. A few weeks ago we had a salad of arugala with canned tuna, balsalmic vinegar, red onions and chopped tomatoes, which was delicious. Not sure if these suggestions are any less $$ than gefilte fish, though. Is it cheaper if you make your own gefilte fish in a large batch and then freeze it?
