Fish and seafood sushi is generally halal (fish is permissible). However, concerns include: mirin (rice wine) in sushi rice seasoning, soy sauce with alcohol, imitation crab (usually halal, made from fish), and rice vinegar. Sushi with pork or non-halal meat is haram. Ask about mirin in the rice.

The halal status of sushi varies because formulations and sourcing differ between countries and regions. A product may be halal certified in Muslim-majority countries but not in Western markets. Manufacturing processes, ingredient suppliers, and local regulations all affect whether a specific product meets halal requirements in your area.
To find halal options, check the restaurant's website for halal certification information, ask staff directly about their meat sourcing, or use the CheckMyHalal database to verify specific locations. In Muslim-majority countries, the entire menu is typically halal. In Western countries, look for branches that display halal certification from recognised bodies.
