Fish Sushi

Drawing of Fish Sushi

The first time I saw the sushi, was at a wedding, and it really did not attract me, however I saw that everybody was eating with a pleasure, so I decided to try it.  And it was good.  Of course I ate the veggie one, because the one that has “raw fish”, did not appeal to me.  Then I learned to prepare it and it was a hit.  Here is the one made out of “imitation of crab”.

Serving Amount: 4 – 6 

Time to Prepare: 00:30
