No it's not. Call me a purist, but that just sounds awful.
And in terms of raw fish, most of the stuff in the restaurants is ordered specially - most sushi in the praries has to be flash frozen so unfortunately you can't waltz down to Costco and simply buy the stuff there. You can hit some of the Asian markets and they may have the proper fish (the T&T in the NE comes to mind).
Unfortunately, and I say this as a guy living in Tokyo, it will always be hard to get really good raw fish sushi in Calgary, but if you experiment with rolls and such it can still be quite good. And even more than the ingredients, the real key to sushi is proper Japanese style rice. Trying to use other varieties does alter the taste considerably.
