Is all sushi made with raw fish?!
I don't know if this is a dumb question or not, but i'm curious!. I love to try new things but I'm skeptical about eating raw foods!.!.!.especially fish!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
No, it has many other ingredients!.
* Fish
Commonly-used fish are tuna (maguro, chūtoro, shiro-maguro, toro), Japanese amberjack, yellowtail (hamachi), snapper (kurodai), conger (hamo), mackerel (saba), salmon (sake), and eel (anago and unagi)!. The most valued sushi ingredient is toro, the fatty cut of tuna!. This comes in a variety of ōtoro (often from the bluefin species of tuna) and chūtoro, meaning middle toro, implying that it is halfway into the fattiness between toro and regular red tuna (maguro)!.
Aburi style refers to nigiri sushi where the fish is partially grilled (topside) and partially raw!. Most nigiri sushi will be completely raw!.
A common misconception of yellowtail is that it is a member of the tuna family!. Yellowfin tuna is a type of tuna; yellowtail (hamachi) is actually a member of the jack family!.
* Seafood
Other seafoods such as squid (ika), octopus (tako), shrimp (ebi and amaebi), clam (mirugai, aoyagi and akagi), fish roe (ikura, masago, kazunoko and tobiko), sea urchin (uni), crab (kani), and various kinds of shellfish (abalone, prawn, scallop) are the most popular seafoods in sushi!. Oysters, however, are not typically put in sushi because the taste is not thought to go well with the rice!. However, some sushi restaurants in New Orleans are known to serve Fried Oyster Rolls and Crawfish rolls!. Kani kama, or imitation crab stick, is a common ingredient used by many sushi bars in place of real snow crab!. Kani kama is almost always the main ingredient of California rolls, and is a common filler in crab mix!.
* Vegetables
Pickled daikon radish (takuan) in shinko maki, pickled vegetables (tsukemono), fermented soybeans (nattō) in nattō maki, avocado, cucumber in kappa maki, asparagus, yam, pickled ume (umeboshi), gourd (kanpyō), burdock (gobo), and sweet corn may be mixed with mayonnaise!.
* Red meat
Beef, ham, spam, sausage, and horse meat are often lightly cooked!.
* Other fillings
Tofu and eggs (in the form of slightly sweet, layered omelet called tamagoyaki and raw quail eggs ride as a gunkan-maki topping) are common!.

No, it is not all raw fish, actually, there is a whole range of sushi which is made with vegetables or those crab stick things!.
On the subject of raw fish though it's really not as bad as it sounds and in all honesty you are far more likely to damage yourself eating greasy old burgers or kebabs than low fat raw fish!.!.!.
Do you think sushi would be so popular if it posed a significant health risk!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

This must be one of the must pervasive misnomers of the western world– Sushi is NOT raw fish!. It is a popular ingredient for sushi!. Sushi is rice steamed with vinegar! It's served with many things– many of which are not fish! With that said, there's nothing like fresh raw yellowtail tuna!
*****EDIT*************
Actually, one of my all time favorites is soft crab tempora– otherwise known as the spider roll!. Very much cooked!Www@FoodAQ@Com

No not all sushi is raw!.
California rolls are made of a cooked pollack processed to look and taste like crab
Unagi, is BBQ-ed eel!. There are plenty of vegetarian sushi rolles made of avacado, oshinko (Japanese pickle) and cucumber!.
