Avocados are one of my favorites because they're high in Vitamin E and the fat required to absorb it. They're also a rarity in the plant world because they are not only high in calories but high in fiber, too! One avocado, last I checked, had around 13 grams of fiber. Not bad for a delicious and creamy fruit!
You can try doing green smoothies. It packs the food into a liquid form and hence leaves it denser than eating the whole fruit. You can consume more calories worth of green smoothies in a given time than you can of whole fruit or leaves alone.
I say green smoothies because not only are they packed with nutrients but they do not take up much additional space in the smoothie. You can add 150 grams by weight (1 really squashed down and chopped up cup of raw greens) of greens and it will add scarcely a quarter of a cup of volume. So you won't have to worry about eating filling foods that are not calorically dense. Avocados, nuts, bananas, dates, and plenty other fruits are high in calories by volume and make great tasting smoothies.
BTW, raw nori rolls sound awesome. I'm thinking sushi tasting raw food. That's awesome.
