For those of you looking for a little raw fun, turn to Austin’s sushi finder, www.austinsushi.com. This sage site will give you the skinny on all things sushi.

Some of the fun finds on this site are a top five list of sushi hot spots, happy hour listings, various links to the history of sushi, community reviews and a locator map that highlights sushi bars all over Austin. You can also post up at the online lounge and trade sushi info with other Austinites with a raw fish fetish.

This is one time when getting the raw end of the deal is a very good thing.
