96. technically the term sushi

Refers to the vinegar rice. People often make the mistake of thinking sushi has to do with the fish. If you want just the fish, you can get Sashimi. I prefer Chirashi, as its fish over a bed of rice, along with the added ingredients of wasabi and Gari Shoga (Sliced ginger).
