Truffles @ Sushi

I have been experimenting with Perigord Truffles and fish for several years. I admit I am a traditionalist, so this is a contradiction to what I believe. But at the same time, I am in search for new ideas, harmony in fusion, the idea of finding food companions from other countries.

The truffles and rice with fish does work but the balance is key. Truffles are over bearing and need some careful placement to set it up. I tried several fish and finally found that while grating the truffles gives the creates impact, I prefer a slice within the rice and under the fish.

I will experiment more by adding some olive oil and some shavings of citrus., e.g. yuzu which works with truffles and even seaweed. The balance is key, and the technique of slicing plays an integral role in achieving the ultimate balance.
