These had a nice flavor with the italian seasoning and seasoned bread crumbs. The texture reminds me of a cross between salmon patties and tuna melts. Technically, I found that the tuna mixture was too dry to cook in a sauce pan without it burning, so I added about 1/4 cup of water and put the mixutre in the microwave for 2 minutes on high instead. I stuffed my tomatoes, then put the cheese on top and in the toaster oven for a few minutes to melt. Again, the flavor was very nice, but I felt the tuna mixutre was very dry. I think that adding a little mayo would improve the moisture level.
