Why don't I like sushi?
I want to like sushi so bad but I just don't, I went to a sushi place today with a friend and even just the smell of the place made me sick. I want to be a sushi person so bad, how can I make myself like it?

There are many many types of sushi though? You might like egg sushi.. it's popular with children lol

The had chicken sushi, but like cooked chicken. I feel like it's not the same though, and I would be offensive to the owners of the restaurant if I bought that and not the actual sushi. They were Japanese, I don't want to offend them by ordering chicken!

Just dunk it in the soysauce

I hate soy sauce too :(
1 Go to an authentic, Japanese restaurant, with legit Asian cooks, ideally not the cheap ones found in every neighborhood of the town.
2 Make sure their ingredients are fresh. The odor must be pleasing and they should be on display (fish and fish parts, mostly, like meat at butcher's).
3 Order your sushi "new style", which is cooked. Raw fish carry great dangers for health, especially nasty parasites.
4 Your first taste, should be of something simple and close to our western palette. Salmon-cucumber is a great starter! Then, progressively go for more complicated stuff, like tuna-avocado, explore the more exotic crustacean meat sushi or eel, to end up at the pinnacle of complexity, such as the Rainbow rolls etc.
5 Keep in mind that sushi isn't only the seaweed rolls, though. You can order nigiri (piece of sea animal meat upon a small puddle of rice, or sashimi (only a single piece of sea animal meat), or the reverse roll (cannot remember its name).

Pro tip: Never forget to put a tiny hint of the green paste thing (wild horseradish) upon your sushi piece, because it has extremely strong taste and burn and spread the soy sauce equally. Last but not least, always eat a small ginger pickle, inbetween sushi parts. Enjoy the complex flavors and alternate them masterfully, as locals in Asia do.
if you can eat raw fish, then go ahead.

I have sushi quite often and I never have fish. because I don't eat fish, so that's not even an important part.
fish is delicious, I like it with lemons in the side and garlic inside of it. you are already missing a lot.

whats your reason for wanting to learn to like it?

-if you are raised on a rather poor diet and you want to expand your pallette I can only applaud that.
having a refined palette is commendable.. those that are picky eaters.. especially those barbarians that only eat fries even when in nations with wonderfull cuisine.. is looked down on.
**
so if you essentially "were raised wrong" and now try to right that wrong.. thats good.

-if you however are however care more about social cloud.. aka you not really want to widen your taste just want to eat whats trendy.. than I have to say : don't.

==================================================
now to help you...
-you say even the smell is offsetting you.. which part of it? the fish? the soy sauce? the meats the grill?
-if it's the fish.. fish should be almost odorless.. you sure you got the fresh stuff?

you should also NOT be sniffing your food...many foods have smells that are offsetting (I love many cheeses but you should NEVER smell them than I go choke too)
-
try eating it in a location where there is more ventilation too.

many people never have learned to eat fish (so I presume thats the issue.. often thats it for people with sushi) well you don't have too :
when eating in a japanese restaurant they usually also have many grilled meat dishes and dishes of grilled vegetables and even sushi rolls based of meat, not fish.
that might be a starting point for you to get used to the herbs and spices used.
seaweed salads and such also are good starters.

next try the ones who have the fish on the inside not outside.. and avoid raw fish initially..
items like a fried scrimp roll, or a calafornia roll are more easy for those unused to fish.

learn the habit of dipping in soysauce and wasabi (wasabi is different than peppers in it's heat.. first time eating it it hurted like nothing else.. over time you start to get used to it..) there are even wasabi flavored snacks like rice snacks you can buy and snack on to get used to wasabi.

once you got that covered go to the sushi rolls with the fish on the outside but stick to the heavy seasoned and cooked ones..
-a grilled salmon with cheese rool (they put the flametorch on that to melt the cheese and grill the salmon)
-a eel roll (smoked eal thats fried and covered in sticky saugh (unagi its called I believe)
are easy to get into.
-sea urchin might also be worth trying at this point.. but if it's not for you than skip that.


after that you may be ready for the more raw fishes.. but again start with the ones that have the fish inside not the outside..
-a spicy tuna roll, is an easy starter.. tuna is the most like meat and the spicy rolls are more easy to get used to that fish taste.
-salmon and seabass are also easier on the palette.. again start with the ones that have the fish inside not on the ouside and pick the ones that are more spicy and have more sauce on them...

now you can attempt the ones with the fish on the outside.. again tuna, seabass and salmon are your safe bets
normally you would dip the entire roll in soy sauce and wasabi.. so thats the first thing your tongue hits... but to get used you can also : grab the small piece of raw fish off it.. and pull it trough the soy and than on the wasabi.. than place it back and eat your roll.. that was the fish has most the flavor.. and thus is more masqet..

and again some rolls do come with more sauce by default.. almost like bbq or whiskey sauce.. (its not what it is but it tastes close to that). even with the fish raw those are easier to those who are not used to the taste of fish..

and finally when you got that down you can try just dip the entire roll in the soy sauce and wasabi as you should.
Why do you even want so desperately to force yourself to like it?

If shushi is not your thing now, it won’t be in the future. Leave it.

So if the japsanese ‘people’ start drinking bleach, will you join the trend because; japan?

There is a valid reason why they’re trapped on small islands and have vigorously been prevented from spreading into mainland asia.

Start slow. Start with something "safe" like a California Roll. There's no actual fish in it. It's just rice, cooked crab (usually imitation), avocado, and cucumber wrapped in thin seaweed paper and sliced into small, bite-sized rolls. Get used to the idea of the general tastes and smells of seaweed paper first this way. Make sure you dip the bottom half in soy sauce. If something like this repulses you, then just walk away from sushi, it's not your thing and it's ok. If you enjoy the California Roll, slowly introduce cooked new types of sushi when you go out.

Next step might be a Philadelphia roll (an easy mode sushi roll), look it up for details. Then try a tempura dish (battered, cooked, typically has a sweet sauce). If all that is enjoyable, then you are ready to dive in with actual fish. Mild fish like Yellow Tail roll is a great introduction.

NEVER go balls to the wall with crazy shushi recipes if you are new to it as a cuisine. It's not about being brave or daring, it's about the experience. It should be enjoyable. I love sushi. My dad was the bravado sort and introduced me to some nasty stuff my first time. Years later a gf reintroduced me to sushi like described above. I love all sorts of actual sushi now, and have for years.
imitation crab is fish
Because your ancestors accepted the gift of Prometheus. After thousands of years of using fire, why would you want to eat raw food.
If it repels you that much I don't see any reason to even start.

Just go eat it at a better restaurant.
