Looks good OP. I love sashimi and such, more sashimi though. Tell you what, your girl must have been ecstatic to see what you made for her. That must have took a lot of preparation to make.

Edited: Due to drunk posting..

I have a 24 CM 16 layers hand forged blue carbon steel yanagi. I have another one on order but the waiting list is at least a year :(.

I think the fish is flash frozen and then thawed since that is the ONLY fish listed as sashimi grade. the rest of the fish on the ice are priced much cheaper.

I would guess so and then the fish is thawed in the supermarket.


You guys are absolutely clueless. Sushi Grade is nothing but a marketing term. It means nothing. I can bet that fish that you're eating was never flash frozen.

Hope you post a thread when you start pooping long roundworms :p
