The whole concept of eating sushi seems somewhat confusing to many Americans. Many Americans are under the impression that sushi is raw fish. While uncooked fish is often part of the experience of eating sushi, the actual sushi is a vinegared rice combined with various fillings, such as raw fish. The raw fish that is often an ingredient in many sushis, is actually named 'sashimi'. At most sushi restaurants in New Haven, Ct, sushi is rolled in dried seaweed 'paper', which is called 'nori'. Often accompanied by a hot and pungent wasabi(Japanese horseradish) paste or sauce, these rolls are known as 'maki'.

Sometimes, at sushi restaurants in New Haven, Ct, and elsewhere, the chefs will prepare a form of maki with the sashimi(fish) layered on the outside of the roll, with the rice inside. These are known as 'inside- out rolls'. These items are very popular at all of the sushi restaurants in New Haven.
