I know. I used the term sushi to describe all uncooked fish.
That is very interesting. Since I don't like raw fish and have not studied Japanese culture I used the term colloquially instead of technically. Sushi and it's preparation is quite an art. I actually don't like any seafood but it is such a huge part of the asian diet. I wish I enjoyed eating it because it's so healthy.Floating Egg said:Sushi is vinegared rice.
Technically, the word `sushi' refers to the rice, but colloquially, the term is used to describe a finger-size piece of raw fishor shellfish on a bed of vinegared rice.

Hawaii is a blend of all cultures and the foods too. I love sashimi (raw fish), POKI - raw fish cut into cubes mix with Hawiian salt,green oinions,round oinions,and other things too,(chili peppers) if you like it hot. Poki can mean other foods mix the same way.
Even the customs are mix, many of the wedding have a mixture of different customs at wedding such as when the bride and groom dance people will come up and put money in their mouths to pass to each other,food will most likely be a Luau, and many different foods! The Hawaiian traditions Bride and groom dress Hawaiian formal style,(this is nice)
Just about everything in our everyday lives are a mix of culture that have been blended by time...............I'am all PAU.......(pau - means finish/done)...................Aloha
I wish I could explain more but if you ever get a chance to live here for a while.....you will understand...............Mahalo
