What type of fish is sushi?

Question

I know suhi is raw fish, but what kind? Cod? Whitefish? Perch? What?? I'd never eat the stuff, just curious.

Answer 1

Sushi is made from several different kinds of raw fish. Here in the U.S. I've eaten sushi and sashimi made from many kinds of tuna, salmon, eel, shrimp, crab, and yes also dozens of white-fleshed fish. Most commonly there is only one kind of fish per piece of sushi or sashimi. In Japan the sushi masters use many types of fish not available here in the U.S. I'm not a sushi expert by any means, but I eat it often when I go out.

Answer 2

Uh...Sushi is the kind of food. From Japan. It's just raw fish, or raw fish eggs and such. It's good. You should try the salmon or tuna. Or the salmon skin roll. If you wanna start off easy, everyone likes the california roll. Which is not really sushi because it contains no fish at all, just rice, seaweed, avocado and maybe crab. But otherwise, no raw fish. Sushi rocks.

Answer 3

Sushi is actually many different kinds of fish. Sushi is a culinary art that a lot of different meals can come from. Sushi is usually raw fish, like salmon, usually combined with a rice roll or other such things.

Most of my friend find ti delicious, but as I hate fish with a passion, I won't eat it either.

Answer 4

During my first year of transition to vegetarianism I would still eat fish and chicken, but after I left those last two habits behind I didn't want to leave my beloved sushi, the best thing to do is ask if they have any veggie rolls. Also, look for a sushi dish that has one type of meat in it and ask if you can get that roll but just without the meat. I recommend you get the Vegas roll, it has one type of meat (remember ask if you can have that dish but without the meat) it also has avocado, cucumber, cream cheese and it's "tempura" which means breaded and fried. It's delicious, just ask for it without the meat...almost anywhere you go they will try to work with what you ask for, sometimes I ask for the veggie roll fried and they do it. ♥

Answer 5

In Japanese cuisine, Sushi (寿司, Sushi?) is a food made of vinegared rice combined with various toppings or fillings, which includes seafood and can also include vegetables, mushrooms, eggs or—although not traditionally—meat. Sushi toppings may be raw, like most fish; cooked; blanched; or marinated.

Sushi as an English word has come to refer to the complete dish (rice together with toppings); this is the sense used in this article. The original term Japanese: 寿司 sushi (-zushi in some compounds such as makizushi), written with kanji (Chinese characters) refers to the rice, not the fish or other toppings.[1]

Outside of Japan, sushi is often misunderstood to mean only clumps of rice topped with raw fish or even raw fish by itself, as well to refer to other raw-seafood dishes, such as sashimi (sushi and sashimi are considered distinct in Japan).

Answer 6

Sushi is Japanese food that must contain rice which is flavored with rice vinegar, sugar and salt, and also contain raw fish, vegetables or sometimes cheese. And the typical sushi ingredients used in the US sushi restaurants are tuna, yellow tail, salmon, shrimp, fish roe, imitation crab, grilled eel, red snapper, albacore, squid, octopus, sea urchin, cucumber, avocado, cream cheese, etc.

Sushi is not raw fish. It can contain fish, but types of sushi such as the Californial roll are all vegitables.
