A sushi chef would be a poor choice to teach you about cooking fish!
But I understand. It really just takes practice.
Try a handful of different recipes with the same fish and you will start to get a feel for it. Then try a handful of recipes with a different fish. Etc. After getting the hang of a few of them, you'll be more comfortable with judging how and how long to cook the fish based on the filet or steak that you're working with--how thick or delicate the meat is.
For me, I was wary about chicken for the longest time when I first started cooking, afraid that I would undercook it. Same thing. It all just takes experience.
A sushi chef would be poor in teaching me about cooking fish, yes, but I believe I know cooking more than fish, and a sushi chef would be very good to teach me about fish.
You see? I can't communicate how amusing it is for me to stay "you see? " to you but I will try; you are Drusas, who one commented about my chosen nickname, as it was similar to yours.
The reason this amused me, or is ironic, is that my name is "Jussi", which sounds sort of like "you see". And the thing I like to do is mansplain. So... you see?
Nominative determinism.
I do always have a bit of a double-take when I see your username. It makes me think you have good taste, even though I don't know its origin.
But you're right that a sushi chef should be well acquainted with a variety of fish.
Probably shouldn't.
I was thinking more about imparting information about the nature, spirit, of fish.
If O understand that, it'll help me cook.
I think I would need you to elaborate.
Sorry, I was offensively drunk 7 hours ago when I wrote that.
I don't know how to elaborate on that anymore. Apologies.
