You haven't gone to eat sushi/shashimi very often, have you? You are
so right, but I think, so wrong. Yes, it is the presentation that
defines sushi/shashimi, but there is no rule that says that the fish
must be raw before it it is wrapped in, or layed over, rice. (Raw
shrimp on rice just isn't done...) For that matter, there is no rule
that it must be fish, since I've seen vegetable sushi (or shahimi, I
keep getting the 2 mixed up).

Of course, cooked fish (like shrimp, krab, catfish, squid & octopus)
may just be Americanisations. Yuji, can you shed light?
