    Replying to comments is erroring out for me but he’s been doing this for a over a year.

    Prep was over an hour but making the rolls was about 30 to 40 minutes. He very meticulous about the whole process. He’s half Japanese and his mother is loving special weekend dinners at our house.

    The white fish there is yellowtail!

    Pardon the overly curious question, but how much did that cost you? It looks stunning but I can’t help but wonder how many legs I’d have to sell to make something like that haha

      He usually buys the fish wholesale. Per meal its cheaper than us going out to the nearest sushi spot…and so much better!

          He goes to a restaurant supply market to get fish or if he’s in the area he’ll just go to this Asian market. 1 yellowtail will last nearly 3 days with 3 to 4 of us.

    That looks amazing! I’d be so excited to eat this but also terrified to eat it because it look like art.

    Looks delicious! I’d say he knows what he’s doing. Our daughter, age 3, devours raw fish. We can’t afford to keep up at restaurants so need to learn these skills ASAP. How’d he get so good? Practice or is there a secret source of knowledge?

      He practiced for over a year. Maybe about a year and a half. He’s super detailed in everything he does so he always researches topics and methods to death. He’s also part japanese and introduced me to some of the best food Ive ever had when we visited his family in Japan. So when we came back to eat at sushi restaurants near us it wasn’t even a comparison.

      Making the rice is a whole process. Washes, then soaks for 30min I believe, cooks, seasoning and and he fans it to cool it. I wish I could be more detailed but I can ask him and relay it later!
