not allsushi is raw

The word sushi is often associated with raw fish. But sushi originated in early Japanese cuisine and included the specially seasoned rice, shari, in combination with vegetables and both cooked or raw seafood. Some sushi is wrapped in edible seaweed and some have sauces or seasonings. Wisconsin Sushi has developed special recipes to make their sushi outstanding, including spicy mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce and peanut sauce, to name a few. And you'll almost always find wasabi and fresh ginger in the box. The combinations are endless.
