  1. This doesn’t work, because it misunderstands the purpose of quail egg in sushi or with sashimi. Quail egg is not a sushi/sashimi ingredient, it is an add-on that serves a specific purpose.

    The entire point of adding quail egg is to coat the tongue in order milden up the flavor of ingredients (natto, ikura, uni, etc) that you personally find too strong to eat on their own. Using it with a mild-tasting fish like salmon would basically obliterate your ability to taste the salmon.

    One could argue that quail egg could have another potential application: to add silky fat to a lean composition. But salmon is already a very oily fish, so that doesn’t fly here.
