'Sushi', in the traditional Japanese sense, is rice flavored with a combination of mirin (a low alcohol/high sugar rice wine) and rice wine vinegar.

However, in America, we call raw fish, sliced by a sushi master (traditionally requiring 7+ years of training) wrapped in seaweed with the above rice and other flavoring components, sushi.

Sushi is not a singular dish and comes in many different forms and styles from Nigiri (small ovals of rice topped with fresh, raw fish) to hand rolls.
