Sushi in no way is like eggplant. My 16 year old daughter-at the time- made me try sushi and it was delicious.
Eggplant is from the night-shade family is it not? Explains everything to me...
My DIL made me try it. I choked some down. I did not care for it.
But I brought it back to their place and grilled it, she complained, but it was great grilled.
So I guess I like grilled sushi.
