Who here likes sushi?

There's actually a place here that makes decent mall sushi. It's not fantastic, of course, but it's certainly passable.
OMG, i love sushi!
QFT. Maybe I will have some for lunch.
I tried to taste it once but the smell made me nauseous...I had to pass.
I never really tried sushi and sashimi until I went to Japan. I was kind of equivocal on it before. I'd eaten it once or twice and it was OK but nothing special. But living out there for a couple of months, and eating some really nicely prepared stuff, gave me a real taste for it. Now I love it, and have it whenever I go anywhere that's likely to do it well.
I haven't tried sushi before - I'm more of a cooked fish person me. Willing to have a go, though.
Yes!
I like Sushi and Sashimi. No meal is complete without the Edamame either.
I could eat my weight in that stuff I think.

I tried it and it wasnt bad. I am not into it, though, but if I had to I would eat it again.
I've never had it. Let me know when they start to cook it.
Not a great fan of sushi, myself. My enjoyment of fish is pretty much limited to Long John Silver's. I have rather common tastes. 
As for cooked vs. uncooked: I didn't know there was such a thing as 'cooked sushi'. I always thought that was a contradiction. What kind of sushi *is* cooked?

How did we get this far into the thread with no definitions? Come on, people.
Sushi is rice wrapped around something.
Sashimi is raw seafood. Often Sushi contains Sashimi, but it doesn't have to.
Thus, saying you don't like Sushi because you don't eat seafood or wondering how you can cook sushi are silly things to say. Rice can obviously be wrapped around cooked things and even non-seafood things.
^ I know eel is generally cooked, as is squid, I think.
"Sushi" doesn't actually mean raw fish, the word itself refers to the sticky white rice used in most sushi dishes. Now cooked sashimi would be a contradiction, as the slices of raw fish are known as sashimi.
ETA: *shakes fist* Small White Car beat me to it.

When shaking a fist, the proper saying is "I'll get you, Small White Car! And this time, it's personal!"
I did consider: "I'll get you next time, Small White Car! Next tiiiiiiiiiiiiime!"
To be totally pedantic, sashimi refers only to strips of raw fish. Fish or anything else (eg. cooked egg) on a mound of sushi rice is called nigirizushi. The gunkan sushi mentioned above is a variation on this: a cylinder of rice with a rim made from nori seaweed, topped with small, soft foods, such as fish roe. Sushi rolls are called makizushi.
Boy, am I hungry!

I don't partake often but I do enjoy sushi and sashimi. It seems to be very trendy to eat nowadays (at least on my college campus). It's very accessible now but I held off my first experience until I could have it at a nice sushi bar/restaurant and that is the only sort of venue I wish it eat it in. If I want something "exotic" at the mall I'll stick to panda express.
You can definitely tell the difference between well-prepared, traditional sushi and what's more commonly available commercially - especially here in the western half of the world. The local store sushi I get periodically certainly isn't bad, but what I ate in California is at least a level up. If not several. I'm glad I had the opportunity to do that.
Me too...I'm turning Japanese. I think I'm turning Japanese. I really think so.
