  Eating salmon wouldn't make you a vegetarian anymore, but it is ultimately up to you what you want to do.
  
  I miss sushi with fish too, but vegetable sushi usually satisfies my craving for it.

  I find that once you add the soy sauce and wasabi, veggie sushi is every bit as good as sushi with fish. Nothing beats that head rush from too much wasabi and the slight lightheadedness from too much salt!!

  Yes, there are some great vegetarian sushi toppings. Ask your favourite sushi chef to prepare you some rolls filled with takuan (marinated radish), kampyo (marinated pumpkin), cucumber, avocado, natto (you must try this!!!!), shiitake mushrooms, ume (plum), cucumber, shiso (mint leaves), and also take inari-zushi (fried tofu 'pockets' filled with sweetened rice).
  
  Watch out for tamago (omlet) - this is normally prepared with dashi (seaweed and tuna-based soup stock). Also, in futomaki (big roll), there is often some pink stuff that is made from sugar and dried tunafish flakes - better avoid that.
  
  Hope that helps a bit...
  
  Best regards,

  PS: I LOVED 'real' sushi with dead fish in it - my favourite was uni, the sea urchin - but I like it even better now that no animals need to be killed for me...
