    Not sure the anchovy draping over the mackerel is your best bet here.

    The black olives and tomato are pretty roughly cut and the tomato sliver plating isn’t adding anything good.

    This is basically a deconstructed puttanesca and you’d be better off doing that. If this is a commercial kitchen plating you should step back and assess the techniques here.

  2. Less spinach, dice the sardine and tomato and garnish a tablespoon on top. Put some tomato sauce,thin,on the bottom. Yeah puttanesca good call.

    Tomatoes are well prepared, but those are not the ones that you want to put on a dish like this. I can feel that tasteless, watery substance from over here. Sry, if you have no option to get proper ones in your grocery store. Perhaps sweet cherry tomatoes can be alternative. Also, a twist of black pepper on them tomatoes never hurts, for looks and taste alike. Good luck and have fun on your next one!

  4. Less of the salad, like Less than half that. The tomato “fan” doesn’t really work for me. Work on your cuts. Not really digging the anchovy topping, maybe bend it into a vinaigrette. Nice char on the mackerel. Keep working on it.
