Ingredients

  • Whole Fish:

    • 1 whole sashimi-grade fish (e.g., snapper, sea bass, or salmon), cleaned and scaled

  • Sashimi & Garnishes:

    • Assorted sashimi slices (from the same fish), thinly sliced

    • Edible flowers (e.g., pansies, nasturtiums)

    • Shiso leaves

    • Lemon and lime slices

    • Daikon radish, julienned

    • Cucumber, thinly sliced

    • Seaweed salad

  • Accompaniments:

    • Soy sauce

    • Wasabi

    • Pickled ginger

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fish:
    Carefully fillet the fish while keeping the head and tail intact.
    Slice the fillets into thin sashimi pieces using a very sharp knife.
    Clean and dry the fish skeleton thoroughly, then position it in a lifelike curve on a large serving platter.

  2. Assemble the Platter:
    Arrange the sashimi slices back onto the fish skeleton to mimic the natural flow of the fish.
    Garnish with edible flowers, shiso leaves, lemon and lime slices for color and fragrance.
    Surround the fish with julienned daikon, cucumber slices, and seaweed salad for texture and visual appeal.

  3. Serve:
    Accompany the platter with small bowls of soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger.
    Encourage guests to enjoy the sashimi with these traditional accompaniments.

Serving Suggestions:
Serve with steamed rice, miso soup, and a selection of Japanese pickles for a full Japanese-style meal.

Notes

Ensure the fish is sashimi-grade and ultra-fresh. Keep all elements well chilled until serving. Arrange and plate just before service for the best presentation and safety.
