I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out terrible. The tuna was dry and the broth was bland.

This dish was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it.

I didn't have any key limes, so I used regular limes. The dish was still good, but I think it would have been better with key limes.

The tuna was a little overcooked for my taste, but the broth was delicious.
