Go, with plenty of money in your pocket, to any proper Japanese
restaurant. The sort where you have to ask if they have a menu in
English. If you like supermarket sushi you'll love the real thing!

I'm sure I would - but what I really like is vegetarian sushi, as the
fish variety is apt to contain shrimp or prawn, which I both dislike
and cannot digest! I assume the restaurants do them, too?

Give that "sushi" means "with rice", it does not need to contain
anything in particular, other than rice. Vegetarian sushi is
commonplace.

(Most Brits confuse sushi with sashimi (raw fish)).

Which, in fact, sushi doesn't appear to contain anyway - it's usually
smoked salmon (yum, yum!). One of these days I shall persuade someone
to take me out for fresh sushi!

I'm with Robin here - real fish sushi does not contain smoked salmon, it
contains raw fish (although i think the prawns, squid, etc are cooked).
Smoked salmon sushi is indeed rather nice, but not a patch on the real
thing.
