Nigirizushi (握り寿司, hand-pressed sushi) consists of an oblong mound of sushi rice that the chef presses between the palms of the hands to form an oval-shaped ball, and a topping (the neta) draped over the ball. it is usually served with a bit of wasabi; toppings are typically fish such as salmon, tuna or other seafood. certain toppings are typically bound to the rice with a thin strip of nori, most commonly octopus (tako), freshwater eel (unagi), sea eel (anago), squid (ika), and sweet egg (tamago).
