I like both. My late wife liked sushi but not sashimi. We use to frequent a Japanese restaurant that served a sushi & sashimi combination platter. I'd get to eat all the sashimi.

| Raw tuna and raw salmon are just awesome. If you've never tried it, you might not understand. First time I had it, I thought it was gross. But I couldn't help eating more and more. |

So Chris... you can see that opening a sushi joint in Oz or England would be losing proposition. Lee: I bet there is a clip of Sly Stone "I Love Everyday People" on you tube.
As a gross generalization, you'll generally see more younger people than older people eating sushi in Australia.
Interestingly enough, even though we have a moderate number of sushi train style places, full Japanese restaurants are comparatively rare, whereas Thai/Chinese restaurants are on every corner. From my brief visit to the US, it seemed to be the other way around.

To kill all bacteria you have to poach it a bit longer.
I.e. what we technical types call 'cook it'.
The idea with things like raw beef dishes is that the parasites that live in beef don't live so well in people, so eating them is harmless; pork shares a thriving bioeconomy with people, hence it should be well cooked.
I seem to recall that one of the green things you're supposed to eat with sushi/sashimi kills some of the parasites on/in the fish - is this correct? |

Certainly, I have seen sushi chefs prepare salmon from the whole fish right in front of me - no poaching. They had clearly already been cleaned.
Apparently that's the key - the fish needs to be cleaned in the right way to prevent bacteria from becoming harmful on the surface of the fish.
Apparently fish under 2cm (guppys, anchoves, etc) can be eaten whole and uncooked. I haven't tried that one.

| The Game Wardens down here just pinched Bubba for poaching some fish. |

Thank goodness someone explained that I thought I was losing my marbles. I only ever get to eat sashimi when we're on holiday because there tend to be a lot of Japanese guests and often a Japanese chef. The wasabi you sometimes have with it can blow your head clean off! |

| The rolls are actually nigiri, not sushi. Sushi are pieces of sashimi on top of rice, sometimes belted with nori :) |

| Nigiri is a type of sushi. As for beverage, beer is common, but usually people drink green tea (my favorite). IME. |

Almost. The rolls are Maki and Nigiri is what you were talking about with the fish on the rice. There is also a temaki which is a cone shaped roll with the nori usually on the outside.
I like to mix the wasabi in with my soy sauce and dissolve so you get the flavour without setting your head on fire. |
