The Fresh Fields grocery store near where my sister went to college (St.
Paul, MN) could order sashimi-quality fish upon request.

I use the term 'sushi' as a catch-all for Japanese dishes containing raw
fish, as do most Americans, I think.  But the word 'sushi' actually refers
to the rice, whereas 'sashimi' is the fish itself.  So I do know the
difference!
