    From left to right (kind of) –
    salmon nigiri.
    prawn nigiri.
    Salmon, avocado and cucumber maki.
    Imitation crab, avocado and cucumber maki.
    Sriracha salmon maki.

  2. Jeez they look amazing. Do you have any advice on how you managed to make them so uniform and beautiful?

  3. Congratz on the clean cuts for salmon (size/shape top notch imho), this is the second most difficult thing to get right after the rice here !

  4. If I had to be overly critical the salmon could do with hanging over each end of the rice. When you can see the white ends it sort of feels wrong.

    Otherwise it looks perfect.

    These look so neat and perfect! If I were you, I’d just want to squash them for that reason alone haha

  6. Maki looks great, and the knife work on the salmon nigiri looks very clean!

    To my eye, it looks like you’re using twice as much (or possibly even three times as much) rice as I would expect for a balanced piece of nigiri. Restraint with the nigiri rice ball is one of the more subtle parts of going from beginner to intermediate when it comes to making sushi, in my opinion. Slicing off the block of fish at more pronounced angles can help make longer and wider pieces of fish, which give you more flexibility with the rice portion. But all in all, nice work!
