The Awase Fish Market has whole fish, cut fish, sushi fish, tempura fish..... all kinds! On our way out we stopped at the tempura stand to get a little bag of fried fish to go. It was great!
Of course, being American, we couldn't resist whipping up some tartar sauce to go with it!
Anyways, that was our lunchtime snack. For dinner we got ready to prepare some sushi. I tried to make a roll first - salmon, cream cheese and cucumber. It looked good when I started.....
....but quickly turned into a disaster when I rolled it up and the seaweed paper broke.
And when I tried to cut it, it fell apart. I don't quite have the skills yet.
However, this one little roll came out perfectly! (We ate it all anyways, it was delicious!)
Joe tried his hand at a spicy tuna roll. Needless to say, he learned from my mistakes and made a beautiful (and tasty) roll!

So we ate the rolls. Then we tried some sashimi and nigiri. (Nigiri = a piece of fish on a little ball of rice). Joe was an expert on getting the little balls of rice just perfect.
And then we had a bit more of the spicy tuna rolls. (Joe was a great chef!)
