Your sushi looks better than mine! The pics is pretty small so it's kinda hard to tell what everything is.

I see Ebi and what looks like Makerel. Is the makerel raw? Do you deep freeze it first or buy top grade fish for that?

I also see what looks like a spicy tuna roll maybe. Same questions as above.

I limit our homemade stuff to cooked so our variety is a little more challenging and non-traditional at times. I just don't trust the supermarkets that try and sell sushi-grade raw tuna or any fish for that matter.I go to an asian market for fresh fish but they don't have anything I would eat raw either.

What is the roll that looks like it has tobiko on the outside? Looks good too!

I love your presentation! Very, very well done!

How is your fresh water perch prepared to eliminate the possible parasites? Same question for your mackerel.

I use a small counter-top freezer to kill parasites at minus 20+ for 10 days. It's the only way I'll eat fresh water fish raw. I've never trusted marination to rid it of the parasites.
 
I steam the perch 1st , then mix in the rice and add beet powder for color, Red food color will do if beet powder is not available.

Salt the mackerel on both sides for 1/2 to 1 hr . let drain in a colander, wash with cold water and pat dry.
The mackerel is then marinated in a mixture of, 8oz rice vinegar , 1 tbsp mirin and 1 tsp salt. for 1 to 2 hours.
 
Princess,
The soup is Japanese somen noodles made with a clam broth stock and added to the stock is, sake , soy sauce and some sugar. garnished with mushrooms , shrimp and green onions.

Arigato, S&P-chan! Except for the sake, that can go in my Bento lunch! Yum!

You live near Bozeman? I am in Missoula.
