every professional kitchen I've worked in has used them
no home kitchen has
there is a reason for this

oh yes this could be nice
see all that shi is what you'd use for a delicate white fish (or salmon very much)
but maybe tuna would be noice this way
I always cured it or ate confit as I hate the way most people overcook the shi

bloody all of them
the nature of the work means that you tend toward working and playing hard; taking things to their conclusions
most are cunts, but some are fun and clever and nearly all are fucked insofar as depression, addiction, alcoholism, gambling, violent tendencies or summat

Yes and no
Any halfable home cook would be able to produce some decent sashimi or nigiri, given a good supply for fish and some patience
here's what you will need to do
Aquire super fresh fish (you can use most fresh/saltwater fish but the latter are generally vastly superior) and freeze to -20c (ideally as fast as possible to prevent bigass ice crystals from forming and destroying your fish.) If your fishmonger sells sushi grade fish then use that
Filet the fish. There are plenty of guides on the internet. Then you want to marinade certain fish, but most can simply be sliced against the grain and pressed onto rice
which needs to be polished sushi rice, anything else won't work quite as well
Wash it till the water runs clear, then cook by
5:3 water to rice, pinch of salt. Bring to boil, simmer for 5m and then cover and turn off heat and leave in a warm place for 15 mins
Take the rice and season in a wide bowl or tray with sushi seasoning which is a mix of ricewine vinegar (get good, neutral shi), salt, and sugar, taking care not to crush the grains and making sure the rice cools somewhat as you mix
ideally your rice will be a few degrees above room temp, and fish a few below
Some good fish to start with include sea bass, mackerel, tuna, scallop, and sea bream
