I originally intended to treat solely sushi, but finally decided to introduce sashimi with sushi as the latter is a natural extension of the former. After all, is there a better place to eat sashimi than a sushi restaurant? 
Side dishes, although strictly not sushi or sashimi are also introduced as they can be regularly offered and served in the same restaurant. 
The notion that sushi is exclusively made with fresh fish is a misconception commonly encountered in Europe or America with the imaginable consequences. Accordingly I have also described preserved fish sushi, meat sushi and vegetarian sushi. 
Finally for practicality's sake I have divided this page into the following illustrated articles: 
"Introduction to Sushi"
"Commonly asked Questions & their Answers"
"Fish Varieties & related Ingredients"
"Prawns, Squillas, Sea Urchins & Crabs"
"Cephalopods" (Octopuses & Squids)
"Shellfish Varieties"
"Meat Sushi"
"Vegetarian Sushi"

             So please, often check! 
             However, as I do not claim perfection or expertise in this hobby, comments, critics and contributions are expected and most welcome! 
             Offered articles and pictures will be credited to their authors for all to see as well as introductions to restaurants. 
             Eventually I shall introduce a newsletter whenever it will be become needed.
