Raw fish is NOT sushi, raw fish, be it frozen prior or fresh off the dock, is sashimi. Sushi can be terrible if old(and it gets that way quickly especially if airflow around), I mean disgusting, of course so could sashimi but I don't think freezing has much to do with it unless it is not stored properly and gets 'freezer burn'
To be more precise, sushi is vinagered rice
combined with something else. Just the rice itself is not "sushi", and the something else can be raw or cooked, or even not meat at all (e.g. tofu). Sashimi is just raw meat by itself, usually fish/seafood, but also can be red meat or poultry.
