Friedl was inspired to use watermelon after coming across a recipe on Pinterest of it being turned into steaks!
She's not the first foodie to turn this everyday fruit into a fish substitute. YouTube food bloggers avantgardevegan and Edgy Veg have also made their own versions of a variety of sushi including, nigiri, poke bowls, and spicy tuna rolls.
This isn't something you see every day, but we have to admit we are quite curious to give it a try.
