 NB>  DD> I've never seen cooked sashimi. According to the definition:
 NB>  DD> "Sashimi is a Japanese delicacy consisting of very fresh raw
 NB>  DD> meat or fish sliced into thin pieces. The word sashimi means
 NB>  DD> "pierced body". This word dates from the Muromachi period."
 NB>> But, by definition, the sashimi below is cooked, not raw.... :)

 DD> Well, sort-of. By a very stretchy definition of "cooking".
 
Hey... it's a Japanese delicacy.... and the Japanese definition of
cooked.  

 NB>  DD> Title: Salmon Sashimi w/Ginger & Hot Sesame Oil
 NB>  DD> In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of the soy sauce with
 NB>  DD> the lime and orange juices. In a medium bowl, toss the
 NB>  DD> salmon with the remaining 1/4 cup of soy sauce and let
 NB>  DD> stand for 1 minute, then drain. Arrange 3 slices of salmon
 NB>  DD> on each plate and top with the ginger and chives.
 NB>  DD> In a small saucepan, heat the grapeseed oil with the
 NB>  DD> sesame oil over moderately high heat until smoking, about
 NB>  DD> 2 minutes. Drizzle the hot oil over the salmon pieces.
 NB>  DD> Spoon the soy-citrus sauce on top. Sprinkle with the
 NB>  DD> roasted sesame seeds and cilantro leaves and serve.
 NB>> For starters, it was marinated, however briefly (japanese definition
 NB>> of cooked)... and then the hot oil would also cook it at least
 NB>> slightly...

 DD> Is it terrifically difficult to split those hairs lengthwise?

Not when they are as thick as these were... <G>   The Japanese
definition indeed includes marinated fish as a form of cooked fish...
along with other operations we would more likely consider only as
preparation...  By their definition, ceviche and your creamed herring
would also count as cooked.   :)

And, from your recipe attached for Ceviche...
 "DD> Marinate fish in the lime juice in the fridge overnight.
  DD> This step cooks the fish."
