Most are raw but there are ingredients that are steamed or cooked like cooked snow crab, shrimps, eggs etc..and some types of fish..like eel. For those who have allergies..
There are varieties of sushi ingredients now that you can try that are not really raw or you can even try pickled veggies for fillings..

I've lived in Japan for many years and sushi is one of my fav. dish.. Now, I do my own sushi at home..

Sushi is a general term for raw fish, however that's just the common name, its not what the word really means in regard to food.

Sushi - fresh ingredients on vinegared rice (small brick of rice with a bit of wasabi and most commonly, sea creature of some kind on top) Could be eel, octopus, roe, urchin, shrimp crab or actual fish like tuna or salmon, could be vegetables, eggs, all sorts of things.

Sashimi - generally, sliced raw fish served with simple sauces and garnishes like daikon radish ans wasabi - hence sashimi knife. The knife used to slice raw fish is not called a sushi knife, its a sashimi knife. However, sashimi isn't necessarily food from the sea, it can also be beef, , fuagra, etc.,... Sometimes, the main ingredient is seared on the outside, yet still raw in the middle, sliced and served.

Maki - rolls - this could be anything that is rolled up with rice and then sliced. might be vegetarian, might have raw fish, might have nori (seaweed) Same thing as sushi, just served in a rolled then sliced form.

When you go into a sushi restaurant, you may or may not find grilled, steamed or smoked versions of the same things.

Again, sushi is both a general term for all of the above even though it also has a specific use. Therefore, the answer it yes - its raw and/or steamed... plus many other things.

I think all sushi is raw but the fish used is very fresh. Some might be cooked or steamed but not completely sure. I know that with salmon and some other fish to "cook" it they use lemon juice or salt and cover it which draws some of the moisture out (salt) and I think the acid in the lemon cooks the meat too.

It depends on what you get, shusi is raw, but most people confuse sushi (piece of raw fish attached to a ball of rice) with shashmi (just a piece of raw fish). Also there's rolls, which is raw fish and other ingrediants rolled in seaweed, then rolled again in rice, this is not sushi in the traditional sense but is usually considered sushi. Anyway there's a roll that I get everytime I go to my favorite sushi bar, it's called a "wasabe crusted salmon roll" and the difference is the rice roll is covered with a wasabi batter and then fried for a sec which kind of cooks the salmon. It also makes it a little crunchy. So in short, it depends on what you order.

'Sushi' actually means 'vinegar rice'. The stuff you put on it itself can be cooked or raw. It's preferred raw, but you get sushi with fish on it which is made of fried fish slices. So it depends on the type of sushi dish you like.
