re: In what order do you eat a plate of sushi like this?

Pro tip: if you're eating raw seafood overseas, eat what you like first.
I once gulped down some nasty sea slugs to get them off my plate, and the host promptly ordered me more thinking they were my favorite.

Probably my favorite. But the only thing questionable I see are the toppings. Must be some fru fru place.

Salmon always tastes fishy to me. Looks like the mackerel would too.

The chimichurri on the mackerel was good as well
I don't think that's chimuchurri .... it's raw wasabi stem, that is grated and pickled far superior to the powdered stuff.
That shite will light you up and very hot. Often sold under the Kizami brand at Asian food markets.
A little goes a long way, this is all you need to compliment any nigiri.
I'd eat the mackerel first since it's my least favorite of the items pictured.

Really I’m just trying to start a food blog about SEC towns, that’s just a front.

It is very fishy. An acquired taste for most but imo the best piece on that board

I’m going to need an even number and then go from there.

Top to bottom. Leaving the tuna with sriracha for last as sort of the palate cleanser.

About the 56th chew into that squid and I was wondering if I should just swallow it or spit it out…literally nothing was changing, it was expanding if anything.
This was my take on foie gras. Initially "Wow, this is delicious!" Then it just felt like chewing on a piece of steak fat that kept getting bigger. One bite was enough.

At first, I thought the mackerel would be oily, but definitely not and the texture is also nice. I'd probably eat the salmon or tuna last.

My wife and I went to Stella! For an anniversary and they had a tasting menu…one of the courses was a Foie Gras BLT…she pics it up all happy like and takes a huge bite. I saw the full range of emotions through her eyes…which by the time she swallowed it were crying I’m pretty sure.
We still joke about it, and she’s damn sure never had foie gras again.

I think it widely depends on the fish quality…like Uni (to me). If you get it at a nice place it’s very good, get it at strip mall sushi and you might be in for a different experience.

I like foie gras but in very limited doses. I have to be pretty hungry to handle the richness too.
We did a tasting at Uchi years ago and they said “we’re just going to keep bringing until y’all say stop”. After like 14, I was dying and totally tapped out.
So she said she was going to bring something that acts as dessert. And it was foie gras nigiri. Something like that is the absolute last thing they should have given to act as dessert. I thought I was going to throw up on the table.

I can do tomago or inari as desert, or some red bean mochi…I would have tried to hide the foie gras nigiri as soon as she walked away.

You aren't getting salmon at the right places. It's as clean tasting as they come when it's quality. When I was younger and if it was happy hour, my typical order was 20 pieces of fresh salmon. I could totally filet one on the boat and eat most of it.

Yeah, salmon is one of the mildest tasting raw pieces offered. It isn't fishy at all. It does have a more buttery texture than most others (which I love), so maybe he's referring to that.

According to what I've been taught, you eat the lighter (leaner) flavor food first and finish with the heavier (fatty) flavor last. White fish first followed by silver skin fish, then red fish, and finish with shellfish.
For your plate, I would start with the ika (squid) which is the lightest (leanest) in flavor, followed by what you called snapper, which actually looks like the hamachi belly to me (would make total sense if you ordered omakase because hamachi has very little belly meat but it tastes like butter), and then the saba (mackerel).
Next maguro (tuna) and then sake (salmon) as a matter of preference.
Finally finishing with the tako (octopus) and hotate (scallop).
I'm really confused by what looks like blueberry compote on the hamachi belly. I've seen sweet garnish on sushi before, but blueberry seems out of place and not something I would enjoy. I would have scraped it off too, just like you, leaving a trace amount so I could try to understand it.

Which one is the squid? Octopus is first?
I would think that a place would place them in order from one direction to the next, but I would agree with others the ‘best way’ would be white meat first to oily last.
As said the more proper way would be to eat your favorites first, but yes naturally to finish I’d have to eat my least favorite first.
Those seem like large pieces? I’ve never understood giving such large pieces for nigiri as it’s generally supposed to be one bite/ one mouthful.
