I love it! In fact, fresh sushi is a great benefit of living in Vancouver. Here's a little taste of what I had tonight  |

| Over the last 15 years sushi has become so popular that we get very fresh raw fish even over here in the landlocked midwest. My favorites: ikura, namagaki, maguro, salmon. Oishii. |

Personally I think fish and polar bears are the only ones that ought to go around eating raw fish!

The grand thing about cooked food is that most if not all the bad bacteria and germs are killed by the heat  |

Sushi? Meh... all those years we took learning to cook food? And now they charge you extra to have it raw...
Not a fish fan, so definitely not a raw fish fan. |

I have eaten it a few times, but would not go out of my way to have it. It would need to be really fresh as both the fish & rice go off very quickly. I suppose if you like to eat risky food like Fugu, then sushi is childs play.
As for me, a nice steak, cooked medium with a some blue vein on top when the second side is cooking, served with a bottle of chilled Lambrusco is what I would go out of my way for!

| In sushi's defence it is not entirely raw. By law the fish has to be poached for 10 seconds or so to kill any bacteria. Sushi is really healthy and will add an extra 9.5 years to your life. In Vancouver you can't walk a block without seeing a sushi joint. Don't get me wrong, I do like my steaks though. |

Thanks Bob. The Beatles & Rolling Stones was the only music for me in 69! As for Penthouse, remember this is a forum for 12 yo's.  |

There are many types of sushi not all of which involve raw fish, but must have rice as part of it. Sashimi is just raw fish. Both are usually eaten with wasabi, a minty green colored horseradish that usually is quite potent.
While I like sushi, I mostly eat sashimi, to reduce carb calories. Usually there are pickled ginger slices which are quite delicious IMO. |

| Sashimi is raw meat, usually fish. Sushi are rice rolls that may or may not contain Sashimi. I do enjoy Sushi. Sashimi, not so much. |

I think I will stick with my ferminated corn and rye, versus fermintaed fish.
Of course with enough consumtion of the ferminated corn or rye, I may would try the ferminated fish. |

But hehe, quite a bit of the Netherlands lies below sealevel. So our predilection is acceptable. |

FYI, the herring being eaten in the picture are raw.

I really like pickled herring in wine sauce. |

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. |

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.

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. |
