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!

"wow it looks like actual sushi!"

Quote from friends after my partner and I put together a big sushi dinner. Yours looks amazing and also like real sushi :)

[–] pootzapie@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

I think I remember you from another site I used to visit, wonderful to see you here, sushi looks beautiful!

[–] tox_solid@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

What a mighty good man.

[–] Metatronz@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Killing me. Between this and trying some David the Diver. I need some sushi - now

[–] german@pawb.social 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] bosshoggwadeboggs@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] cybervseas@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How does one buy fish wholesale? Do you need to have a chest freezer?

[–] bosshoggwadeboggs@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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.

Looks amazing. I thought it was a restaurant order before reading the title.

[–] LookingForOwls@vlemmy.net 5 points 1 year ago

Looks amazing. How long have you been making sushi?

[–] BettyWhiteInHD@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

That's a great spread, I'd eat it. Nice job!

[–] xc2215x@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

That is so well organized and done.

[–] GlitterBandRebel@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

This looks great

[–] mrpibb@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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?

[–] bosshoggwadeboggs@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

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!

are you guys adopting?

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago
[–] Unvaluablespace@vlemmy.net 4 points 1 year ago

What's the special occasion? Hopefully really good news!

[–] thomasb2k@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Wow this looks amazing!

[–] OneThere@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] coldv@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Ho...ly... Shit. I am so envious right now.

[–] HidingCat@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

It looks really well done. Like someone asked, how long have you all been doing this?

[–] Fitchnar@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Wow that’s a great selection, well done!

[–] kamasupra@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

How long did he take to make all of them?

That's some serious dedication to making a dinner...

[–] Lzwzli@reddthat.com 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Very nice! Does he slice the fish himself?

[–] bosshoggwadeboggs@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

He does! He buys the sushi grade whole fish wholesale.

[–] Jarmer@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

So beautiful! Did you all learn by just practice and experience? Or trained?

[–] Andrew1030@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Looks amazing! But where are the beans?

[–] nikmis@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Sushi beans would be either natto-gunkan or edamame

[–] z3k3lon 2 points 1 year ago

Delicious 😋

[–] Sunspear@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Any tips for how to buy sushi grade fish? I’m not even sure how to find it.

What’s the raw chicken breast sashimi meant to be?

[–] RandoMcGuvins@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It's likely a Kingfish sashimi.
