Can you eat sushi without fish, or sea-weed?

[stu]

I'm vegetarian, and my doctor said I can't eat sea-weed. But, I like sushi.

What types can I eat?

you cant have any sushi because sushi is seaweed but you can have rice, tempura,soup, sashimi with just veges( you will have to make a special request)

Possible, but not recommended.

Sushi refers to fish (not necessarily raw), not to rice.

All those vegetarian rolls are not genuine sushi.

Yes

Sushi refers to the rice (not the seaweed or fish).

There are some rolls that do not incorporate nori or seafood.

Yes, Get an Avocado Roll, Or a Vegetarian roll, I'm sure if you ask the waiter you will find it.

 

[Corvato]

yes, you can

sushi is just the seasoned rice... you could take a small hand full and put a veggie or some tofu on top, you will have a vegan sushi.

by the way, the nori, which is the green "sea weed" is not actually seaweed, its a green algae.

if you want the nori-like material to wrap or tie your sushi, you can basically just use a dark leafy green as a replacement
