Bizarre, but quite delicious. We made this once and then craved it so much that we made it again the next week. It tastes sweet, but not too sweet. And, it does not taste like tuna. The only change I would make is to add the tuna at the very end because it can get a little chewy if it is overcooked. Enjoy!!
