Mmm I havent had good "fresh" sushi as cooking rice takes time, sashimi on the other hand, I have had literally pulled from the ocean, cut and not even bled tuna straight off the chopping block on the back of the boat. Good stuff but a bit messy. Same goes for pearl meat, fresh straight from the shells is the best way to have it. Stuff is like butter. Post freezing the meat is still good, but not the same flavors or textures.
