7. Because in Japan there was an abundance of it when Sushi began
As far as I know, Japan is where sushi originated. Many types of fish and seafood are used to make sushi such as tuna, salmon, squid, octopus, eel, sea urchin, yellow tail, fish roe. Most people know sushi as a slice of raw fish placed over a ball of rice with wasabi which is called nigiri sushi. Pickled ginger is served on the side to cleanse the palate.
I don't think Japan is the only country that eats sushi, but it IS the country that started sushi.
Sushi is made up of alot of different kinds of fish:
TUNA - YELLOWTAIL - HALIBUT - SALMON - SNAPPER, and some other fish some cooked like FRESHWATER EEL, some fish eggs, there are a variety...
Traditional sushi (nigiri) is made up of sliced raw fish on top of a rice ball seasoned with rice vinegar and sugar
There are MANY different kinds of sushi: There are rolls such as the California roll, Spicy tuna roll, Eel rolls, and then there is the nigiri suchi which I explained above....and then there is also sashimi which is JUST sliced raw fish and you eat it with a bowl of steamed rice
Not quite sure WHY raw fish...hope this helps I worked in a sushi bar for almost 10 years I learned quite a bit....
1.) Japan is, of course, the MAIN country. China, Korea, the US, and I'm sure many others can say that they make authentic sushi.
2.) Mostly ocean fish. Eel, octopus, tuna, yellow fin, mackeral, there are many.
3.) Sushi is the rice. It is prepared with rice vinegar. There are sushi ROLLS that are made with a seaweed exterior.
4.) Usually in twos, sometimes by singles.
5.) There is the raw fish on rice and there are rolls.
6.) Rice, rice vinegar, fish (see above), and seaweed. Sometimes with roe.
7.) Why NOT raw fish? It's quite delicious. The US paranoia about raw things irritates me. There is, after all, steak tartar and raw vegetables. Why not fish? Japan, being an island, quite naturally came by its love for fish both cooked and raw.

2. None sushi is not made from fish. sushi is actually rice.
3. the sushi (rice) is washed again and again. then mixed with vinager to give it that sticky feel
4. it is served and perpared alot of ways. just the rice in a bowl, wraped like a roll with vegables and sometimes raw fish and many other ways.
5. again sushi is just rice but the japanese use a short grain rice or sushi grade type rice.
6 um rice.
7. raw fish is good for you. but "sushi" is not raw fish it's rice.
sashimi is raw fish.
