My first sushi order

Cured fish is not the same as cooked fish. Ask the restaurant when preparation matters.

This describes the usual impression, not a fixed recipe.

Actual texture changes with cut, temperature and preparation.

“Familiar” and “adventurous” describe a first-visit experience, not cultural value.

A fish-free suggestion is not a vegetarian or allergy guarantee; dashi, sauces and shared tools still need checking.
