Sushi and Sashimi

I saw a panel in the comic strip section today, again confusing sashimi for sushi. This is far from the first time and I wince everytime I see it.

Thus, for everyone's edification I would like to clarify the meaning.

Sashimi is the raw fish delicacy that to be honest, I'm not entirely fond of. I might be the only one in the family who doesn't absolutely love it.

Sushi is vinegared and sugared rice, rolled or molded with vegetables and/or some kind of seafood (hmmm... I think they might also use Spam in Hawaii). I happen to love sushi, but am not supposed to eat more than a couple at a time or my blood glucose goes through the roof.


There's a difference between Korean sushi and Japanese sushi as well. The Korean sushi is not flavored with sugar and vinegar like the Japanese sushi. Therefore Korean sushi would probably be healthier for me. Maybe then I could eat 3 pieces?
