Raw fish in Nebraska? I think I'll pass on that one!

Could you be confusing "sushi" with "sashimi"? According to www.diffen.com/difference/Sashimi_vs_Sushi:
"Sashimi is thinly sliced raw meat—usually fish, such as salmon or tuna—that is served without rice. Sushi is not raw fish, but rather vinegared rice that is mixed with other ingredients, which may or may not include raw fish. In some countries, the terms "sashimi" and "sushi" may be used interchangeably, but this is incorrect usage."
I had sashimi once. It was very fresh raw fish, thinly sliced and served with soy sauce. It had been caught only hours before in the Pacific Ocean near Wake Island (about 2500 miles West of Hawaii). At the time I didn't care for it. It wasn't bad, it's just that my taste buds found greater pleasure elsewhere.
Sushi, on the other hand, is a treat. My grocery store (actually an Air Force commisary) has a sushi kiosk inside the store. I periodically grab a lunch sized serving and enjoy it before heading home with my groceries. It's fast food oriental style.
