Sushi dosn't mean raw fish. Sashimi is raw fish. I've tried raw fish once. Another American friend of mine did it at the Shangrila in Jakarta years ago where we met for lunch, and for some reason, I tried it to. That was the one and only time.Sushi are those rolls with seaweed on the outside, rice in the middle, and something else inside of the rice. Koreans call theirs kimbab, and I've never seen them use raw fish for theirs. But Koreans like to eat stacks of raw fish.I remember once in my early 20's in Korea driving with some coworkers along some curvy ocean-side road to a restaurant. I was jetlag, sitting in the back in the middle, not feeling too well. Then we got into the restaurant which smelled a bit to me like a fishing doc, though it looked nice. We sat down, and they brought out stacks of raw fish, sashimi. I couldn't eat red pepper at the time. I ate the rice. I'd never tried raw garlic before that and realized why. There was no hibachi grill, just raw fish, kimchi, raw garlic, and raw fish. I couldn't bring myself to eat raw fish.When I stopped at the yogwan (motel), my host had a coworker pick me up a hamburger with cabbage because he saw how little I'd eaten
