Lots of room for improvement, but don’t think it was terrible for a first attempt.
I had a hell of a time getting the sizing right on the cuts. I got the hang of it more towards the end, but the 4 nigiri in the picture were the only slices big enough to go over rice, and just barely. The rest turned into the small and misshapen sashimi at the back. I had a tougher time with the angles than I thought I would, and I think I handicapped myself by initially cutting the filet too narrow.
The maki was overstuffed, but I think that will be easier to correct next time. It was definitely tougher to spread the rice over the nori than I anticipated.
