You don'r like rice? Sushi means rice. Sometimes it doesn't even have fish
(cooked or sashimi (raw)) in it. It is usually accompanied by wasabi - a
green horseradish, which, even if not chile, is capable of lighting up your
life.
I have always like herring is sour cream and onions - which is raw fish.
Excellent stuff. But, not all like it.
The main point is that sushi is rice. Raw fish is sashimi.
ENJOY!!!
