Specifically, sushi is a type of vinegared rice. It is usually used to describe a wide variety of Japanese dishes which frequently contain fish.

Yes. You can buy sushi rice, and the sushi vinegar used to make it, in quite a few supermarkets these days.

It is my understanding that sushi is the rice that is served with small cuts of raw fish, called sushi mi but I don't speak Japanese. I have eaten a good deal of this and find the combination very tasty. I don't know how good it is for you, the rice is a white rice and the fish is very fresh and raw. I suppose it's good protein. In the US it's a very expensive way to eat fish.

There are many kinds of sushi, depends on what kind you're talking about. It's good for you depending on what you put on it. Too much soy sauce with things can lead to problems in the near future.

Samshi is the raw fish that everyone is familiar to. Sushi is smoked fish and stuff like that. Now, it's either or...and with veggies (like thinly sliced cucumbers, carrots) and sometimes with crabmeat, avocadoes...creame cheese...the ingreedients are endless...wrapped with seasoned rice and then wrapped in seaweed. It's so pretty and the chefs are very proud of their creation. Presentation presentation presentation! It's food for you as long as you're not allergic to the ingreedients as some are sensitive to shellfish. *Pleiades
