Sushi or Sashimi?

"Sushi" generally includes rice with each slice of fish or vegetable; one order of an individual kind of sushi is two pieces on rice -- or else the ingredients are rolled up with rice in some seaweed. "Sashimi" is just the ingredients (usually fish), without any rice at all; one order will be several slices on a separate dish, and the serving may be larger (and more expensive) than one order of the sushi -- so think about sharing it. Below, in my Sushi Vocabulary section, there is more detail about these and other sushi types, how they are prepared, and how to order them.

Most kinds of fish and shellfish can be ordered either way -- sushi or sashimi; but clearly the "fancy rolls" with multiple ingredients must be wrapped up with the rice. I often order a mixture of both sushi and sashimi, because I like to taste some delicacies all alone. Below you will also see listed some cooked foods and mixtures of raw ingredients that have their own special presentation -- often in a bowl -- that may be available in US sushi bars. Watch what everybody else is eating and just ask "How do you order that?" You're not alone at the sushi bar, and you can learn a lot by observation and by chatting up your neighbors! That's all part of the fun of eating Sushi a la Carte!(randy johnson - ease)
