once you have knitted the the salmon and tuna together add some long chives in equal spaces where you expect the sushi pieces to be, about 8-10 chives.

Add another layer of cling film on top the fish grid and then flip over and remove the first layer of cling film.

 Step 5 . place the sushi roll in the center of the salmon and tuna fish grid. then lift up the sides on the salmon and tuna grid pressing them against the rice till they stick.
