sheet of nori). TO ASSEMBLE AND SERVE: Pass the nori, one sheet at a time,
over a flame to intensify it's flavor and color. Lay the nori flat on a
hard surface (the japanese use a bamboo mat to facilitate rolling) with the
wide side of the mat facing towards you. Place a long slice of fish along
the length of the nori and roll the nori into a long, thick, tight
cylinder. Cut crosswise into 1 1/2" slices with a sharp knife. Roll and
cut the remaining fish and nori in the same way.
