No, I have to go to a Japanese sushi restaurant to get sashimi.
I love sashimi so much, I am a regular customer there : )
I like all different kinds of sushi and sashimi.
I wish I could buy it at the market!
You are lucky.
I can't wait to visit your country.

I just noticed a lot of people already corrected this..sorry!

your English is very good!!!

example of "a": I rode a bus to Shinjuku
meaning: out of all the buses in Tokyo, i took one of them. But it doesn't matter WHICH one I took.
example of "the": I rode the 33 bus to Shinjuku
meaning: out of all the buses in Tokyo, I took THIS SPECIFIC bus, THE 33 bus.
So a conversation could go,
X: So, today I took a bus to shinjuku.
Y: Oh really? Which one did you take?
X: I took the 33.
or, X could say, "I took the bus from my house", meaning that there is only one specific bus that he can take from his house.
I was suprised because so many comments and corrections were written in a brief time.
because everyone likes you!
私は魚は大好きなんですけど、お刺身は食べられない日本人です(x_x;)
お刺身が大好きです。Both sushi and sashimi are popular but so expensive here in London. I love it but I rarely have it. In supermarkets you just get cheap sushi with poor quality rice and you won’t really see it at markets. Fortunately London’s biggest fish market, Billingsgate, is near our flat. They only sell very large portions of fish so I have to spend maybe £30/¥6000 for tuna. I often cut this in to portions for my friends though. That stile laves so much. I love Tsukiji though, I’ve bought some amazing fish from there. I miss Japanese supermarkets as well!
Thank you for your kindness, all !
>technicolor
Thank you for your advise.
I should care for usage of "the" .
>LlamaKing

I think so, maybe it is difficult to find sashimi in US supermarket.
>Tonio

Oh, you like sashimi,too? I hope you can get fresh sashimi.
But it is suprising that your campus have an asian food place.

I really appriciate always when you give me an advise.

Of course,I like you ,too!
>sera
Thank you for your advise.
Yes, I found wrong usage about "the" and "a".
It's very difficult for me to use these words correctly.
Please give me a correct if I make mistakes in my journals.

I found many people like sashimi and sushi.
Someday I want to go to Billingsgate.
Thanks again for everyone. All of your advises are really helpfull.
I relly appriciae.
Yes, sashimi is very popular. But, not really at the market. Most of the time it is bought at a place to eat dinner.. I love sushi and sashimi, they are my favorite food in the world.

I do like fish when it's cooked, though, particularly if it's cooked in lemon and/or water. Around here, that puts me in the minority: a lot of people in this part of the country don't really like fish very much. About half of Ohioans will eat fish only if it's batter-dipped and fried, and most of the rest won't eat fish at all (except for canned tuna, but that's different). This may have something to do with the fact that we're several hundred miles from the Chesapeake Bay and even farther from the actual ocean, too far to drive in one day. Most of our seafood comes from Lake Erie, which is not exactly famous for its pristine condition, and the best way to get fish that's reasonably fresh is to buy it frozen.
Oh, and to answer your other question: supermarkets in the US do sell uncooked fish, but it's not sliced (filleted to remove the bones, maybe, but that's all), and the general assumption is that you're going to take it home and cook it, just like you would do with the beef, chicken, or pork, which are also sold raw.
