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!

*not* smoked but raw. yes, yum yum!

but you might get smoked if made for you by a Japanese person here in
UK. They probably wouldn't be able to buy fresh enough high quality
fish, and would not risk serving anything raw that they were not very
sure of.
