sushi 101

Sushi: seasoned rice, sea vegetables, possibly with vegetables and/or seafood (raw or cooked)

maki: "roll", referring to what I think of as traditional sushi

nigiri: "finger shaped", pressed rice with a piece of fish laid over top, fastened with a piece of seaweed

sashimi: raw seafood, always

nori: roasted seaweed that has been pressed into sheets
