Sushi isn't raw fish, that's sashimi. Sushi, at least "western" sushi, contains different meats, including cooked fish (usually tuna), chicken and beef. But it is all room temperature / cold. So if you don't like eating any sort of cold meat then sushi would still probably not be your thing. Nothing wrong with good vegetarian sushi. It's all just a delivery mechanism for wasabi and soy sauce anyway. So the question is, do you like wasabi.

Cilantro is the thing I hate. Makes me gag.

Sushi can (and usually is) raw fish as well though. Raw salmon/tuna sushi is awesome! Meat sushi actually seems really rare to me.

Depends where you are. The more traditionally Japanese the sushi place the higher the proportion of raw fish among the selection. A fully western sushi take out place (sushi equivalent of McDs) will only have raw salmon and that will be in the minority. Chicken would be the most common meat among the western sushi franchise places around here, then canned tuna in mayo.

Yeah, I realized that later... to be fair though, my knowledge of japanese food is pretty limited since I'm not a big fan of it (Ramen is great though, tried it the other day). I haven't tried wasabi but it's supposed to be pretty spicy, right?

Btw, you just made me learn a new english word, thanks lol. Cilantro is called Coentro here so I had no idea what it was until I looked it up. Have you tried parsley and if so did you hate it as well? I'm asking because they look really similar but people say they taste quite different.

Parsley is fine. They taste very different. But then I don't really know how Cilantro is meant to taste, because to me it tastes soapy and I'm sure that's not what people who like it are tasting.
