Vegas checking in, we get daily flights of fish from japan and the rest of the world. Definitely the best raw fish you’ll ever eat in the desert. Assuming you know how to look, because there is a bunch of trash here too.

Vancouver, BC.. Sushi here are pretty excellent.
My brother lives in Tokyo so I visit him often. I would say our sushi is about 70% comparable.

France: variable.
You got supermarket sushi, Vietnamese/Chinese sushi restaurants, bad real Japanese restaurants and good authentic Japanese restaurant. I’ve had the worst sushi in my life here, but also wonderful stuff on par with a nice place in Japan.

I live in Japan. So it’s fudging great.

Taiwan: arguably the best outside of Japan

High-end: Omakase standard are pretty good despite the use of mostly local seafood and lack of seasonality & variety like in Japan.
Some of Australian specific ‘neta’ used in omakase includes John Dory, kingfish, coral trout, paradise prawn, green abalone, calamari etc
Low-to-mid end: not great but cheap and cheerful. Dominated by salmon and cheaper tuna like yellowfin. Maki is super popular here with lots of topping & sauce variations

Generally, the quality of fish is not bad, but the presentation and extra ingredients used are often adapted to popular taste, making it less and less authentic and classy. Most of the sushi you can find are more American inspired than Japanese and they can get too creative on top of that. You can find traditional makis mostly anywhere, but people are not really interested. Avocados are not common, and people usually love salmon sushi.
In some places like big cities you can find some real good quality sushi, Japanese style and omakase, but it’s very expensive and the average population cannot afford that (and I doubt they’d be interested anyway).

After living in Japan for a year, I went back to the states and had some sushi and I thought it was horrible. At least the chain type restaurants
Salty_Herring
there’s some good spots, but a lot of it is the overdone fried shrimp, avocado, etc. rolls. Which are admittedly tasty, but not a lot of good real sushi unless you’re dishing out the big bucks

I live in America, so if you’re near a major city (Atlanta for me), the sushi can be very, very good.

Much like Japan itself, it runs the gamut from amazing to terrible.

I live in Queensland, Australia. 13,327 km of tropical and subtropical coastline. 99% of our protein sushi is chicken or salmon. It’s a fucking embarrassment, but it’s what people want.

Knock knock. Hokkaido here.

On the coasts? Usually pretty great, in the middle landlocked states? I don’t know I don’t eat seafood there.

First, it’s expensive. And highly variable in quality. You can get really good sushi if you pay for it, usually in big cities. Also, a good number of so-called sushi places seem to favor rolls smothered in sauces and various crunchy textures. That said, I had some of the best toro in my life at a fish market in Portland, Maine. The guy behind the counter told me it was caught off local waters.

I live in hawaii there’s some decent spots fs.

Toronto: There is some good stuff, but it’s mostly horrible.
Edit: Your Korean sushi looks Korean.

Never had the real deal in Japan so not sure, but I live near an area with a heavy asian population so I like to think we have some decent spots as far as american sushi (as well as indian and chinese) goes

I’m Canadian but oddly some of the best sushi I’ve had (outside Japan) was in Zurich.
