Sushi #4, #5

I finished off the two pounds of salmon I had picked up at Coastal Seafoods with two more nights of sushi!

#4: 28 October 2018

We started the night by cutting out the salmon into several pieces some nice sashimi and nagiri. Then we made three rolls. The first roll was salmon, avocado, and cucumber (a salmon California roll). The second roll was just salmon and cucumber. The third was imitation crab and cucumber (I had no avocado at that point to make it a 'true' California roll).

This night saw the last of the salmon that I had created. I started with one cup of rice and chopped the rest of my salmon into what you see here. (Minus one piece of sashimi).

From the salmon cuts, I started with three pieces of salmon nigiri and two pieces of salmon sashimi.

To end the night, I made a roll with the diced salmon and some green onion bits. 

It's taken a while, but I'm finally starting to get the hang of actually cutting the fish into pieces that look nice for nigiri and sashimi.

Sushi #1, #2, #3

I recently took sushi classes at Coastal Seafoods in Minneapolis, MN. After said sushi classes, I finally started to purchase and make my own sushi. To date, I have done three rounds.

#1: 20 October 2018

Just nigiri--salmon nigiri and ahi tuna nigiri on Saturday, October 20th, 2018. I made a cup of rice but found that I had way too much left over.

#2: 23 October 2018

The second round of sushi was made with the leftover salmon from round 1. I went for roll making this time around. I also made significantly less rice--only 1/2 cup, which basically gave me enough for this roll. With the leftover salmon, I made baby nigiri.

#3: 27 October 2018

More rolls this time! Not pictured is the mess of a roll that had far too much rice. Pictured below is a salmon California roll (avocado and cucumber), a salmon roll, and some baby nigiri.

The wife was the one who rolled the California roll, which came out quite nicely. The follow up salmon roll was more lacking.
