Who likes fresh fish?

I went to a sushi bar last week and the food was so amazing that I was inspired to try recreate the art of sushi making at home. Now it takes years to perfect sushi making, and this will have only been my second time preparing sushi, but nonetheless I was happy with the results. My taste buds agreed as well. I used fresh salmon and tuna for both my sushi and sashimi. I was very impressed with the quality of the cuts, and to that I owe thanks to my dad who's known the fishmonger for decades now.

These are my sashimi cuts. I was able to convince my mother to try one, but my dad wouldn't eat them unless I lightly seared them.
