Spicy Tuna Tartar

I always wonder if I'm being too much of a geek when I pull out my camera and photograph my food before I eat it. Given the size of the camera that I reveal, I also wonder if they think I'm a food reviewer for a paper or something like that, instead of being a blogger. Sometimes the food is so pretty that I think for a moment that the food is too pretty to eat. That thought goes away once I have captured the food on the camera, and I happily enjoy the once-pretty food (which is why my food photographs are always "before" photographs and rarely ever "after" photos.)
The Spicy Tuna Tartar was marvelous: raw tuna, topped with avocado, salmon roe, black caviar and a quail egg was the perfect starter for the 48-piece sushi dinner which included sushi staples like King Crab, Hamachi (Yellowtail), Sake(Salmon), Ika (Squid), Hotate (Scallop), Hokkigai (Surf Clam), Maguro (tuna) and of course Uni (Sea Urchin).
