Sushi are naturally low in fat (with the exception of some roes and western style rolls), high in protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals
Fats: Most seafood is naturally low in fat, and what fat is found in them is generally unsaturated fat. Since sushi is often served raw, no fat is introduced in its preparation.
Proteins: Fish, tofu, seafood, egg, and many other sushi fillings contain high levels of protein.
Vitamins and Minerals: These are found in many of the vegetables used for sushi. For example, the gari and nori used to make sushi are both rich in nutrients. Other vegetables wrapped within the sushi also offer various degrees of nutritional value.
Carbohydrates: These are found in the rice and the vegetables

It's both. Sushi is healthy since it's not really a big portion, and the things in it are good for you. Sushi is also bad if the fish is very raw since you might get food poisoning.

Any fish is good for you because it has special fatty acids that are good for you. Seaweed and the vegetables are also good for you. Rice has a lot of calories and very few vitamins, but you won't be eating that much of it with the sushi.
However, sushi can be bad for you. Some fishes have high levels of mercury. Also, raw fish has a risk of food poisoning and parasites.

it depends on what kind you order. anything with tempura, probably isn't as good for you, and a lot of the masago's are kind of a mayonaise-creamy based sauce, also probably not the healthiest choice. if you stick to the fresh seafood, sushi is really good for you. it has a lot of fresh veggies, fish that contain a lot of vitamins. its also pretty good for portion control.

depends on the preparation obviously. if it's done correctly, then it should be good for you (look at how long the folks who have been eating it forever seem to live).
if it is handled incorrectly, you run the risk of food poisoning and such.

It's very good for you. Unless of course it isn't fresh. But it is made with fish which is good for you and veggies, seaweed and rice. All def good for you.

If it is fresh, fish has a lot of nutrition.
