Have to agree with you. Publix sushi is safer than most though.
We had an Albertsons we could get OK sushi at. Largely because the sushi lady took a liking to my wife, if she saw her looking at the tray she’d come in with the “oh no, no, you wait, I make special”. Sadly she moved on.

Raw sushi is gonna be safe if the owner of the restaurant (or at least his sushi chef) is Japanese. That’s because those folks know which varieties of fish, and from which supplier, are hygienic; and they know how to handle and prepare the ingredients properly
Moreover, you’re almost always gonna be safe when the restaurant is run by Koreans. But if the restaurant is run by Chinese, you’d better check out their reputation before you eat the raw stuff.
(I speak from unpleasant experience!)
