If Sushi does not mean raw fish, then what does raw fish mean?

Answer 1

Sushi as an English word has come to refer to the complete dish (rice together with toppings). Sushi is a word for fermented things (food) in Japanese.

In Japanese cuisine, sushi is a food made of vinegared rice combined with various toppings or fillings, which are most commonly seafood and can also include meat, vegetables, mushrooms, or eggs. Sushi toppings may be raw, cooked, or marinated.

The original term Japanese: 寿司 sushi (-zushi in some compounds sush as makizushi) in the Japanese language refers to the rice, not the fish or other toppings. In the Western world, sushi is often misunderstood to mean only clumps of rice topped with raw fish, or to refer to other raw-seafood dishes, such as sashimi (sushi and sashimi are considered distinct in Japan).

To me it's just plain GROSS. But in reality the basic sushi is raw fish rolled around cooked fish, that you dip in wasabi or soy sauce.
