Don't know why western people consider sushi as "healthy". For me it just as bad as McDonald.
If you have ever made sushi hand rolls by yourself, you'll easily notice that the rice you cooked run out a lot quicker than you think.
If I just had rice with lettuce + tuna for a meal, I'll need about 250g canned tuna in spring water + half normal lettuce choped or cooked, it would go with about 250g cooked rice (a little bowl). But if you put that much tuna into sushi, you'll get about 20 handrolls, and you'll have to use half pot of cooked rice (for about 1kg).
Really, I'd rather have lunch at McDonald (as long as I don't have it everyday), if you don't take coke, you'll probably get less pressure for your blood sugar level than having sushi for lunch.

Where do you get your information from?
Because testings have shown that the healthiest fast food is kebap and sushi.
Fat and fat is not the same, and the omega-3 in fish is very healthy.
Also, there is no need to become too obsessed with fat.
BonoIsMyMuse said:Some places are even starting to make rolls with brown rice. Fish and nori (seaweed) are both very healthy, as are vegetables of course. How many people would eat seaweed otherwise? I know I sure wouldn't. And unlike in many other common preparations for seafood, there's no butter or oil in sushi.

I worked in a sushi bar for a short period of time.
I don't know why seaweed was considered that important that could make people eat sushi? Coz it's just part of my regular diet. Need them for seafood soups.
Anyway, just let you know that some sushi bar (at least the one I worked for and the other few my friends ever come a cross) put sugar in the rice when they cook, to make it taste sweeter. It's a normal trick for a lot of oriental restaurant. My another friend worked for a Chinese noodle bar, and they never use salt, but instead, mix salt and sugar at 1:1, coz taste really drive people to buy from your store than the others. They don't pay your medical treatement afterward anyway.
To make california roll, we put mayo in the rice before roll, to give the sushi for much better taste. It's true that no oil directly put into sushi, but indirectly? You bet.
I'm not try to convert people not buying or enjoying sushi, but I really think the extra information is needed to clearify something. Eat too much starch isn't going to do anything good for the health, IMHO. A healthier fast food isn't mean it is healthy for everyone or healthier than any other food.
If you question about the percentage of rice and vege + fish used in sushi making, try to make hand roll yourself and you'll know.

A friend of mine I study with lives in a students' hostel, and last time we were there for some barbecue.
A Chinese student came with some dried nori you could eat as a snack, which tasted pretty good.
Should be available in Asian stores.
