@Marisa: Lol! I’m sure the English folks would also have a problem with me calling this dish “fish n’ chips”! Glad you found some useful info and it really helps to look deeper into the information that’s available to us out there.

I looove raw tuna so much! Thanks for the tip on sushi grade fish – I’ll definitely look into it. Great twist on fish & chips too – the greasy fishmonger down the road will turn in his grave methinks!

@Regina: Thanks so much! I was scared for a while too until I finally read more about it. So yes, a little knowledge goes a long way, coupled with a lot of bravery

@LaSpicyVita: I’ve been trying to work up the courage for quite some time now and so glad I finally conquered my fear! The first night we tried it, my bf and I were actually paying close attention to our stomach symptoms

This looks beautiful! I just did something so very similar the other day. Its a great way to forget about winter for a little while. And thanks for sharing about the fish a lot of people are scared and for good reason but a little knowledge goes along way.

@Joy: I’m so glad I’ve finally conquered my fear of preparing raw fish at home. Now we don’t have to go to a sushi restaurant every time we want tuna tartare. Hope you find some great tuna this weekend!

@Tiny Urban Kitchen: We’ve considered the same thing but I don’t think the rest of the food would appreciate that

Cute! I have considered turning my freezer down to -4 F (-20 C) and freezing my own fish according to the FDA guidelines (7 days!). I’m just not sure what it will do to the rest of my frozen food!

@Jeroxie: It was really fun to snap photos of the tartare. The bright colors make my job easy .

I’m really excited to take our sushi-making class. We’ve already scheduled a trip to the Japanese market on that same day so we can make some at home right away! It’ll be a nice change to have home-cooked sushi. Or rather, home-uncooked?! Lol

@Mimi: I’d love to be captain of a sports fishing boat! It sounds like such a cool title You can’t get any fresher fish than right out of the water! Alhtough, I did learn from the sushi chef at Yasuda, that sushi tastes best after a few days post mortem. The flavors are more developed. I would have never guessed!

Glad you had a chance to try the pasta

@Tangled Noodle: It was so much photographing and styling this dish because of all the bright colors! Glad you like sushi site – I found so much helpful information on there!

I guess I can consider myself lucky to have lived near the ocean all my life. Sushi-grade fish at my disposal

Your photos are fascinating. I get lost in the detail! And your presentation is always restaurant quality. Can I admit to being a bit jealous??!

The colours and the flavours are amazing. I do prepare raw fish and make sushi and sashimi at home as well.

Looks fantastic. My daughter’s BF owns and captains a sports fishing boat, so I rely on him for good fresh fish.
btw the pasta pomodoro was incredible.

Lovely to look at and undoubtedly fantastic to eat! Thanks for the link to sushifaq.com – I still have not worked up the nerve to buy and serve fish raw here. Given that we are about as far from either major ocean as geographically possible, I’m not confident of the ‘sushi-grade’ fish that’s available to me.
