      I have sushi at least once a week. I always order some type of sushi roll. Sushi does not mean "fish" in Japanese but rather signifies any vinegared rice dish. The fish is sashimi. Wrap the two together in portions and sell it as sushi, and the name still refers to the rice, not the fish.

      Nigiri sushi - pieces of fish, shellfish, or fish roe over vinegared rice balls.
      Sashimi - raw fish served chilled, sliced, and arranged without rice.
      Maki sushi - vinegared rice with insertions, rolled up in Japanese seaweed.

                I haven't seen it since, but in North Carolina there was one Sushi chef at a restaurant that made something called a Deep Sea Roll. I don't recall what was in it, but it was a very large roll that was tempura battered and then flash fried.

                Tempura is very good too.

                    Brand0n,

                    Allow me to take it from here. Many Americans think that when they eat out at a foreign-ethnicity restaurant, that they suddenly become more culturally sophisticated. Problem is, eating at a Chinese establishment does not mean that you understand how chinese people eat, what they eat or even how they interact.

                    The Japanese more often don't use chopsticks. Try explaining this to someone that eats out at "all you can eat" sushi tuesdays.

                    Americans complicate things in an attempt to sound more sophisticated than others.

                        They say it to sound elitist.
                        Certain rolls that originated in places like california are not seen as "real" sushi by them. Despite they were also created by sushi chefs. The sheer idea that a chef would incorperate local ingrediants into their cuisine is absurd and thus makes it not "real".

                          Brand0n, I would say that they are. Sushi is a general term. Now, you could say "sushimi" if you want to be specific about eating sushi. I do that as I like certain fish without the rice.

                          But it is still sushi. My point was that people try to complicate things.

                            Sashimi, nigiri, maki... all sushi, just different presentations.

                            Who has a copy of that funny ass video that gives "sushi eating" lessons to "stupid Americans"? Last time I saw it, Tanker had it, but I haven't seen him pop back in from his honeymoon yet --
