  1. Gorgeous. I mean, wow. Question, how do the nasturtiums pair with the ponzu? And how do you make that dope tapioca wafer (ok 2 questions)?

    That is such an elegant looking piece of fish lol just the shape of it, the way it curls just a little. I like the sort of neutral colors of the whole thing. Personally think a smaller crisp would be a good choice.

  3. I know there is a lot of love and rightfully so, buuuuut that sauce is a little loose and distracts from the overall presentation. I have zero qualms other than that.

  4. Not a chef but an artist- If you like the visual of how loose the sauce is, I’d recommend researching some contemporary watercolor artists to give inspiration on how to display this sauce. Alternatively, you could thicken it to be less loose. Additionally, i would think about cleaning up the crisp. Proportionally it seems large to the mackerel and could be finessed. Art and food correlate very well artistically and you can definitely find plating inspiration in any form.

    Good luck, Chef!

    i follow emboidery subs and i thought this was an embroidery hoop! exceedingly pretty 🙂

  6. Looks and sounds delicious!

    My only thought are the tapioca/wakame crisp. Maybe ad a dust of wakame on top. I’m guessing it’s folded in when you fry them? The green flakes kinda reminds me a bit of old styrofoam. But that also might just be as it’s quite a lot of contrast in the photo.

    I’m torn…I love this. I love the flavors. My first reaction is the sauce needs to be tightened up, but that’s a personal preference. I don’t want runny sauces, so I can control the flavors. However, it definitely gives a watercolor vibe, and looks like a silk painting, which is beautiful.

  8. You can texturize ponzu not to be liquid in many ways. Would look more elegant like a gel dots and provide more colour than being a shade under the fish.

    The more I see this on my screen, the more I like it. I didn’t like the way the crisp overhangs the plate…just so knitpicky on my part, but I love the simplistic and minimal aesthetic of it. I love a neutral look.
