"Among the people I've dined with" This is where you're going wrong. You cannot judge "normal" off your own little circle. You may think the word has other meanings, but they do not apply when talking about what's "normal" in terms of food.
Link me three sushi places in your area that do not serve rolls besides maki and don't cost $100 a head, I'll wait.
It is not wrong. It is a counterexample, much like some of the other replies you are receiving.
I am not going to dox myself to satisfy your quarrelsome self-importance. Good day.
Anecdotal data is not data.
You have nothing.
Pick any "western" city and give me three, I don't give a shit where you live.
I have never been to a place that sold sushi and didn't have the option to order just nigiri. Other than the packed sushi at the supermarket.
I'd agree that most people here think of maki when you say sushi, but nigiri is absolutely not considered "not normal" and california rolls are called california rolls and are rarer than maki.
