Try Chirashi at your local sushi joint sometime, it's good too.

Actually, that's a Maki you're describing. Nori are slices of fish on a ball of rice (what most people think as "sushi". Sushi means "with rice", not a particular way it's put together.
It's true that you should not eat raw fresh water fish (trout, bass, catfish), but Salmon is different. It's true that they're born in fresh water, but they live several years in salt water and only touch fresh water when they come home to spawn. Wild salmon sushi-sashimi is very popular around here and I've made it myself from fish I've cought for over 15 years with no troubles. I'm sure it's the farmed fish people that keep trumpeting the wild salmon isn't safe crap.
More people get sick from beef and chicken than fish.
Farmed fish (Atlantic Salmon AKA Toxic Slugs) are naturally grey/brown in colour. The farmer adds colour to the feed to make the flesh the right shade for his customer. Wild fish range from light pink (Chinook), to orange (coho), to deep red (Sockeye).
Here's a link on farmed fish
Can you tell I don't like the fish farming industry?
Wild fish don't do drugs!
