Sushi is a Japanese dish and it is used to cover a wide range of different dishes. Sushi doesn't mean raw fish; in fact, the requirement for sushi is the inclusion of rice, namely sushi rice, which is vinegared. It may also include raw fish in certain dishes but raw fish, and sometimes raw meat, is a separate dish called sashimi, that is sometimes served with rice.
Sushi dishes come in a range; some of the more recognisable are the rolls, which also come in different types, and nigri, which is a small block of topped sushi rice. Fish and seafood are common ingredients, but meat is sometimes used as well as a wide range of vegetables and occasionally fruit. Condiments usually served with sushi are pickled ginger, wasabi and soy sauce.
