Sushi is any food dish consisting of vinegared rice, usually served with some other toppings, but not always. It happens to often be served with various types of sea food, either cooked or raw, and perhaps even a mix of the two; but that tradition simply comes from the primary food staples of the locations where sushi originated (not Japan, by the way). Sushi can be served with just about any toppings or none at all.

Why do some people add 'er' at the end of some words?
If you go and eat sashimi, that's raw fish. Sashimi isn't accompanied with any rice at all. Just the raw fish.
"Many non-Japanese use the terms sashimi and sushi interchangeably, but the two dishes are distinct and separate. Sushi refers to any dish made with vinegared rice. While raw fish is one traditional sushi ingredient, many sushi dishes contain seafood that has been cooked, and others have no seafood at all."
I'm addicted to it, i LOVE sashimi. This stuff is delightful.
i would still say that anything with sushi rice counts as sushi. That includes sashimi over rice.
>Raw fish.
It's just smoked/salted/cured often using vinegar. Saying sashimi (not sushi, as you pointed out) is "raw" is like saying that deli meats and cold cuts are "raw beef/pork/meat." It's very misleading, fam.

Everyone, please watch my tiny nature videos. There is no talking in them. Shhh!
I guess "western world" is just the US then?
I've been fighting against the notion of sushi is raw fish ever since I first had sushi
How can you Not know this??
friend-because I don't like raw fish!
me- (facepalms to death)
It's not fucking raw.
Funny. In some Asian cultures, they would consider Fish still part of a vegetarian diet. Perhaps you mean vegan?
the warm rice makes it taste better

Its fucking raw !
americans being outamericaned
soo how would u explain that budz.
Can you respond to me and explain? Your video is confusing to me, thanks.
^Earthlin1984's logic
In some countries, the terms "sashimi" and "sushi" may be used interchangeably, but this is incorrect usage. Raw fish is one of the traditional ingredients in sushi but sushi may also be made without meat or with cooked seafood as long as it uses vinegared rice. Sashimi, on the other hand, always contains fresh raw meat or seafood."
in this case, the sushi should be the general portion, as we are talking about raw fish as a component/ingredient
“what you are saying is like 'vehicles are cars!/ all vehicles are cars!'“
Your comparison is flawed. Saying “sushi is raw fish” is not at all like saying “all vehicles are cars”, it's like saying “all cars are vehicles”, which is indeed correct. “Sushi” ought to be “cars”, not “vehicles”. Or in other words: Sushi/cars is specific, raw fish/vehicles is general.
Your comments are painful to read.
Oh hell, I so agree! It does feel like a cheap click bait. Okay so sushi is not raw fish, fine. Fine! But it's still true that sushi can CONTAIN raw fish, which if not served with rice, is called sashimi. Sushi may not always be made with raw fish, but raw fish, whenever it is served in a Western restaurant, is most likely sushi. I thought this video was gonna reveal something mind blowing judging by its provocative title, but it felt more like a click bait than anything else, despite any futile attempt to defend it or to justify for its fishiness otherwise, pun intended!
A better way for you people to argue about this is "Pizza is not pepperoni, but pizza can CONTAIN pepperoni." Isn't that a lot easier?!? Jesus Christ! Who gives a damn!
すし
【寿司・鮨・鮓】
酢・塩で味をつけた飯に、魚肉・野菜などをまぜたもの。また、酢をした飯をにぎって、その上に魚・貝の肉などの具をのせたもの。種類が多い。
(translated into English. I tried)
Sushi
【Sushi / Sushi / Sake】
rice with a taste of vinegar and salt with usually a mixture of fish and vegetables and etc. In addition, after favouring the cooked rice with vinegar, a meat of a fish, clams, and etc. are put on top of it. There are many variations and kinds.
the English dictionary's definition of Sushi:
su·shi
/ˈso͞oSHē/
noun
a Japanese dish consisting of small balls or rolls of vinegar-flavoured cold cooked rice served with a garnish of raw fish, vegetables, or egg.
pretty similar I suppose.
But not so valuable as the need to reply pretending you're superior. It's the adult version of a kid plugging his ears and screaming "I'm right and I don't care what you say!"
"I'm too stupid to come up with any more counterarguments, I probably even know I'm wrong, but my ego is far too big to let me admit any kind of mistake on my part."
But also your insistence on arguing your point is encouraging you to adopt some very flawed reasoning. Even if one accepts your flawed premise that some sushi is fish, your conclusion that sushi IS fish still fails. Yes, a human being is an animal. But your argument goes the other way : by saying that some sushi is fish means sushi is fish, is no different from reasoning that some animals are human therefore all animals are human. I suggest that rather than trying to support a failed premise you try to reach a valid conclusion.
"Sushi IS raw fish!" means that all sushi is raw fish, and that the raw fish itself is sushi. Neither is the case, both would have to be the case for the statement to be true.
If I said "Sausage IS poultry!", it would be the same as saying that sushi is raw fish. Only some sausage is made of poultry, most is made of pork and/or beef, and just plain poultry is not sausage, it has to be prepared a certain way. Sushi is not raw fish, the same way sausage is not poultry. In fact, saying sausage is poultry is less wrong than saying raw fish is sushi, because a sausage can be made of almost nothing but poultry, whereas sushi always requires the rice in order to qualify as sushi.
And as Blackmark52 helpfully pointed out, no, sashimi isn't sushi.
But I didn't say that did I? I said sushi is the name of the rice : it is sushi rice that is used to make sushi, that is why they call it sushi. Sushi rice can be eaten in a bowl with whatever toppings and it's still sushi.
No! Sushi is the name of the fucking RICE!
As you said, sushi doesn't mean raw fish, besides tuna and the some raw fishes were quite expensive,not common before WW2. After we learned refrigeration,transportation technology from western countries, especially US, raw fish sushi became more common, affordable.Some people say raw fish sushi is a traditional Japanese food, but actually not.
The thing that made me apprehensive to try it is that I imagined the texture to be slimy and chewy. But that's apparently not at all true. It's actually really soft, as you said.
These 3 are super easy starters. California roll, Tuna roll, and nigiri sushi
Also, for this case,’ Sushi is not raw fish’ is a title anyone who knew sushi does not refer to raw fish would prefer/use/think of, whereas for those who didn’t know it at first and watched the video, would likely think that the title is misleading as they had understood it wrongly earlier on as ‘the raw fish is actually not raw fish’.
Look at your very own hand picked definition : a Japanese dish consisting of small balls or rolls of vinegar-flavored cold cooked RICE. Not raw fish, RICE! Your definition goes on to say that the dish, that is the RICE that is the Sushi, is SERVED WITH a choice of garnishes. Only ONE of which is given happens to be raw fish.
Thank you for proving the title true and accurate most definitively. Sushi is NOT raw fish.
Just google it
su·shi
ˈso͞oSHē/
noun
a Japanese dish consisting of small balls or rolls of vinegar-flavored cold cooked rice served with a garnish of raw fish, vegetables, or egg.
Nuff said.
I said title is misleading. That is why. What the hell you do?
No where did I say sushi was just rice. The argument isn't even about what sushi is, or how it can be made, or what can be used on sushi. The argument is that raw fish is not called sushi, it's called sashimi. Pretty straight forward really. It's too bad you don't understand that sushi and sandwich are directly analogous in regard to rice and bread. But if that's too difficult for you so be it.
In the time since my last comment here, I've watched several videos posted by top Japanese sushi chefs. I'll continue to take their opinions on the matter.
You can buy sushi with brown rice now. Also cheap sushi in Japan known as their fast food has a rice type noodle.... going in circles here. I agree you lost your position. If Japan calls it sushi. At the end of the day your argument is with Japan not me. I have not argued either. I gave my opinion. The general accepted definition. Finally actual facts. The reason why you feel it's an argument is stated in your last comment. Argument is hallow.
I understand that it's also made with cooked meat and also vegetables, but my piece of argument that you quoted still stands as completely true. Ask someone who doesn't like sushi WHY they don't like sushi, they'll tell you "Cuz raw fish". Sometimes they know there are cooked and vegetable options, and many will eat those options, but that doesn't change the fact that the raw fish sushi is made with raw fish. The title of the video plays into people's grossed-outness of sushi that has raw fish in it by giving it a title that tells them "Don't be grossed out by the sushi that's made of 'raw fish'. It's not actually raw.".
Your argument that : ["Sushi is NOT raw fish" would mean to anyone: "the fish in sushi isn't raw; it's cooked" ] doesn't get you anywhere. Because sometimes the fish is cooked. It can be broiled, some pickled, or cooked in any manner whatever. In fact, toppings don't even have to be fish. And there are all kinds of vegetable sushis. Sushi is NOT raw fish.
You can't get that from the title. Unless it was directed as some person who thot sushi was raw fish with no rice or seaweed attached. Who doesn't know what sushi LOOKS like? Be it rolled or flat, everyone surely knows it's fish and rice held together by seaweed. You just can't not know thanks to its popularity and appearance in media. "Sushi is NOT raw fish" would mean to anyone: "the fish in sushi isn't raw; it's cooked".
What is with you people? That point the title is making is that sushi is not even fish! It refers to the sushi RICE.
Way to miss the point of the video and feed into the misconception. Sushi isn't raw fish! So nobody anywhere flash freezes sushi because rice seasoned with vinegar, rice wine, and sugar doesn't have parasites.
American speech is possibly the most slurred, incoherent and generally ugly sounding speech on the fucking planet.
The end.
I'm half joking. In order for Sushi to be legit, it has to have vinegared rice. That's it.
Vinegar and salt would retard bacterial, mold and fungal growth.
Also I'm interested in why the ancient Japanese are so fine with throwing out rice when food was scarce.
No seaweed, that's only used it variants like makizushi.
They aren't suggestions of anything evolutionary and can be taught through environment and classical conditioning. That disgust is yours personally and has very little to do with evolution. There are millions of way you could've picked it up but evolution is unlikely the cause of this pairing.
Hence why Kappa Maki is a cucumber roll.
So pretty sure it's a Japanese invention.
Pronouncing "sushi" to rhyme with "pushy" would be more accurate. Also, "maki" should sound more like "mucky" not "macky".
Some of the best food I ever had was eaten using chopsticks.
>earliest forms of fast food
Bronze and stone age street food vendors would like to have a word with you.
After I started getting sick with ibs I had to be conscious of what I ate and how it affected me so as to now be sick every day all day. Sushi as it turns out is really gentle on my tummy and my go-to food for bad tummy days.
When you cook a steak, you don't cook it until the redness is completely gone, because once the meat is light pink, it's technically cooked already.
Of which means that when you prepare meat and changes it's chemistry through heat or solution, you 'cooked' it in some form. This means pickling meat or vegetable is 'cooking' them, not the usual 'cooking' you see.
Because you could be 'cooking' a cold dish without using heat at all.
Today's Sashimi is generally carved, packaged, and frozen on the ship it's caught by. These giant factory ships are basically a giant freezer with workers inside operating electric knives and such to butcher fish meat.
It's only by freezing seafood that you kill off any parasites that would reside in the warm waters of the ocean.
When a sushi chef buys fish, he either gets a whole fish that's frozen, to thaw and butcher it himself, or buy portions to use in sashimi or sushi. They are always frozen so when they prepare to serve it, it is thawed in a small cool area to get soft enough for them to use. This is why in sushi restaurants the fish is served 'cold' as in chilly.
Some restaurants take a step further and will plate sashimi on top of ice to keep it's temperature low so bacteria don't form as quickly.
You can make cured/brined salmon yourself actually and it's not very hard if you buy fresh portions.
You brine thinly sliced portions in water with a chunk of salt dissolved in it, for up to 5 minutes, which will change the raw salmon's color of dark pink to a lighter pink color. Then you remove it and use a paper towel to dry it and store it in the fridge until you serve it. The salmon is a bit salty depending on how long you brine it for, but you wouldn't notice if you make sushi or rolls out of them and eat them with the usual soy sauce and wasabi paste.
I replied with" No thanks I don't eat raw fish" thinking she had said sushi after laughing for a minute mom told me what she said again and it clicked
AND AND, The rice isnt the main ingredient in sushi, a good piece of sushi is considered wholesome and all parts are equally important.
Actually it is, in the sense that without it is isn't sushi because the name sushi comes from the use of sushi rice.
Fish. Water-dwelling vertebrate that breathes primarily or exclusively through gills throughout its entire life. Alternatively, vertebrate whose ancestors have not evolved to live on land at any point.
Both exclude vertebrates that returned into the water after living on land, so water-dwelling reptiles and mammals are not counted as fish.
Then there's the cladistic definition, which includes all vertebrates, including the ones that live on land or whose ancestors adapted to life on land only to then return into the water. This one is not commonly used, however.
Clearly some fish used in sushi is processed, and that is quite obvious to the customer, from the look and taste. Examples including pickled saba, dzuke-maguro, the pickled river fish that's traditional in places like Nagano, unagi, various fish that are often braised, etc.
However much of the fish used in sushi and sashimi looks and tastes raw. My point in stating it that way was that such nominally raw fish really is raw, there isn't some kind of tricky behind the scenes processing taking place.
[A different issue is the use of freezing to kill parasites, which is common in cheap sushi, and even required by law in some places.]
However in current practice, raw fish is the norm.
This isn't hard to see for yourself. Not only does preparation like marination change the flavor, color, and texture of fish quite distinctly , but you can go to a restaurant, or a fishmonger, etc, and see them prepare sashimi, starting from the whole fish.
The issue with mercury is the amount: large top-of-food-chain fish have a great deal more of it than smaller fish, as mercury accumulates up the food-chain.
I believe it's generally recommended that you don't eat such types of fish daily (there have been cases of mercury poisoning in people consuming maguro very frequently); in the case of small kids, I dunno, but I presume one should be even more careful. [I vaguely recall seeing a recommendation that pregnant women not eat maguro more than once every six weeks....but take this with a grain of salt.]
At high quality sushi restaurants, especially in Japan, one of the most important elements of the chefs' training is learning to identify and deal with fish parasites. Cheap sushi, on the other hand, usually uses fish that has been frozen, and the freezing kills the parasites (but also affects the taste).
Some particular varieties of fish are typically marinated or otherwise cooked or processed before using in sushi, e.g. saba goes bad very easily, so is usually pickled in vinegar or something (not sure the details)... It's very easy to identify these by taste!
Some of the best sushi comes from just-been-killed fish, and sometimes even still moving....
Another type of food borne illness that could occur after consuming tainted sashimi is Diphyllobothriasis. This disease is an infection within the intestines that occurs when the tapeworm Diphyllobothrium latum is consumed. Common fish such as trout, salmon, pike, and sea bass harbor this parasitic larvae in their muscles. Due to the new innovation of the chilled transport system paired with the salmon and trout consumption, an increasing number of cases have been recorded annually in northern Japan due to the spread of this disease. [8]
Traditionally, fish that spend at least part of their lives in brackish or fresh water were considered unsuitable for sashimi because of the possibility of parasites. For example, salmon, an anadromous fish, is not traditionally eaten straight out of the river.[citation needed] A study in Seattle, Washington, showed that all wild salmon had roundworm larvae capable of infecting people, while farm-raised salmon did not have any roundworm larvae.[9]
Freezing is often used to kill parasites. According to European Union regulations,[10] freezing fish at −20 °C (−4 °F) for 24 hours kills parasites. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends freezing at −35 °C (−31 °F) for 15 hours, or at −20 °C (−4 °F) for 7 days.[11]
While Canada does not federally regulate freezing fish, British Columbia[12] and Alberta[13] voluntarily adhere to guidelines similar to the FDA's.[citation needed] Ontario attempted to legislate freezing as part of raw food handling requirements, though this was soon withdrawn due to protests by the industry that the subtle flavors and texture of raw fish would be destroyed by freezing. Instead, Ontario has decided to consider regulations on how raw fish must be handled prior to serving.[14]
Some fish for sashimi are treated with carbon monoxide to keep the flesh red for a longer time in storage. This practice can make spoiled fish appear fresh.
problem is that only my sister go out and eat sushi cuz shes OLDER!!!!!!!!THAN MEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! like WTF DUDE!!!!!!!!!
SO SHE CAN JUST GO OUT AND EAT WITH MY COUSIN suuuuuushiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii and i get so pissed cuz am only 12 and shes 16!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Btw, sushi is really good! It comes in many varieties. Some good ingredients to try are: fried blue crab, fish roe, avocado, crab, lobster, eel, eel sauce. (all my fav ingredients!) Eel sauce isn't sauce made from eel, it's a sauce that goes well with eel. It's made with soy sauce, mirin, and sugar, and it's heated up, but when served, it's cooled down. Don't be put off by eel, because it tastes REALLY good, not fishy at all. It has a great umami flavor.
Bon appétit! :)
One correction: maki (0:41) is not cucumber rolls but rolls in general.
trying to sound like you know it all and fucking up that badly lends no credability
there are also raw pork sausages in isan(north eastern thai) food.
im very sure other cultures eat raw pork too but i wont
is there a sushi role playing game of some sort-your comment makes no sense(and its impossible to be a typo)
nigiri,and making are the 2 predominant types of sushi-which has a much broader,inclusive description.
Californian sushi is still a form if maki that is highly distinctive and fits the description perfectly but us not a traditional sushi
I feel this subject barely touched the meanings of sushi. (both in true old and new forms, along with american variation which this one seemed more stuck on)
not from the west so why base sushi on a western perspective.
Fermentation is not the same as being cooked and you will not find one
reputable sushi chef say that sushi should have more than 5 ingredients
and not be as fresh as fresh can be.
nigiri is nothing more than a type of sushi whereas sashimi is actually raw fish
The tongue can detect around 50 distinct flavour-basics, and the nose around 500 - all in many possible combinations. But research is ongoing, so we don't know the exact number.
That's what is meant by a "basic taste".
I've found no scientific evidence that the 5 basic tastes are a myth. If you can prove me wrong, I'll gladly take the lesson however.
