These tuna bites are delicious, but they're a bit time-consuming to make. I would only make them for special occasions.

I'm not a big fan of tuna salad, but these tuna bites were surprisingly good. They're a great way to use up leftover tuna.

These tuna bites were a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I would use less cayenne pepper next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my tuna bites didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. They were a bit bland and the texture was off.

The tuna bites were good, but I found them to be a bit dry. I think I would add a little bit of mayonnaise next time.
