Instructions

Prepare the Fish:
Carefully fillet the fish while keeping the head and tail intact.
Slice the fillets into thin, uniform sashimi pieces.
Clean and dry the fish skeleton thoroughly. Arrange it in a lifelike position on a large white platter. -
Assemble the Platter:
Artfully arrange the sashimi slices over the fish skeleton, aligning them to resemble the fish’s original form.
Decorate the platter with shiso leaves, edible flowers, and slices of lemon and lime.
Add mounds of julienned daikon, cucumber ribbons, and seaweed salad around the base for added texture and color. -
Serve:
Accompany with small bowls of soy sauce, wasabi, and pickled ginger for dipping. Serve immediately for optimal freshness.
Notes
Always use ultra-fresh, sashimi-grade fish. Keep the platter and fish chilled until serving. Add thin slices of jalapeño or microgreens for a modern twist.
