Sushi is the Rice
Sashimi is the Fish

I get into arguments with people who think the sushi is the fish...:)

[SoCal Pubbie]

Sushi (すし, 寿司, 鮨?) is a Japanese food consisting of cooked vinegared rice (鮨飯 sushi-meshi?) combined with other ingredients (ネタ neta?), seafood, vegetables and sometimes tropical fruits. Ingredients and forms of sushi presentation vary widely, but the ingredient which all sushi have in common is rice (also referred to as shari (しゃり?) or sumeshi (酢飯?)).

[C. Edmund Wright]

Sushi is also the general term for the entire genre of sishimi, ngiri, sushi, etc...

Sashimi is a style, it can be beef as well as fish.
