Yes you are right..sushimi is raw and sushi is usually wrapped in "rice or vegetation" of some kind.

True, except that most sushi does include raw fish.

Sushi can be 'nigiri-sushi' (made-in-the-hand sushi) which is basically the fish pressed on top of the rice; sometimes bound together by a little strip of nori.

There's also maki-sushi, which is the typical rolled type.

In this picture, the stuff on the left is maki-sushi and the stuff on the right is nigiri-sushi.

Sushi is a rice roll that often (but not always) contains some form of fish or shellfish - can be cooked or raw.

Sashimi is pretty much the same fish or shellfish, but without the rice.

I happen to enjoy many varieties of Sashimi and Sushi.
