Healthy, because

Tuna provides the essential omega-3 fatty acids that protect the blood vessels and promote good concentration. The fish also contains haematopoietic iron and scores with muscle-building proteins.
Since the skewers are prepared with a lot of tuna, they should be enjoyed only rarely; because tuna is one of the fish species threatened with extinction. Alternatively, less tuna can be used and additionally some vegetables can be landed on the skewers.
