I always wondered why you people do not cook your fish! sashimi I think is a tad over rated and more for the "just have to do it 'cause it's trendy" set! don't see too many eating raw Sausages or Lamb Chops, or maybe even a raw Pork Leg for Christmas instead of a Ham.

I'm guessing you dont like your steak still kicking(rare).
I'm with you on this one and I have tried sashimi prepared by a Japanese guy who stayed with us for a couple of months.
We ate many types of fish raw and the only way I liked it is when vege's and rice are added and its wrapped in seaweed.
As sushi rolls dipped in soy and wasabi its delicious.
I think the sashimi thing might just be the primal caveman manifesting itself in us great white hunters.
I'd much rather see a return of the medieval trend of a mug of beer in one hand ,a half raw and bloody leg of pork or lamb in the other and a couple of scantily clad wenches by my side for a dinner feast.

I don't mind a pinkish steak, but I do not really go for sashimi, even though it does not repulse me or anything, I just dont see the sense in eating perfectly good fish raw!, but to each their own!
OH and the Pink Steak would be heaps tastier with the scantily clad Wenches and the mug of Beer! for that I would even eat Sashimi!
and i dont see the sense in cooking perfectly good fresh fish, but then again i do like my steak blue so maybe its just me!
thanks garry
Im with Gazza. No point in cooking the hell out of something as fresh as sashimi grade fish. My wife is Japanese and everytime we go back to Tokyo I visit the Tsukiji fish market (second biggest in the world) and outside the market their are sushi restauarants....................the freshest and most delicious Tuna etc you can ever eat. A sahimi cut of tuna can vary and the japanese sell 4 grades with the marbled effect (ie lots of fat) the top grade.
I am a sushi and sashimi convert
