Dave's is about as non-sushi of a name as I can imagine for a sushi restaurant, I agree. Having eaten there many times (much to my chagrin), it's a pretty down-to-earth, not very fancy, not particularly high quality restaurant. But it has been the for 20+ years. There are newer sushi places in town that are much fancier, and have fancy trendy names to match, such as "Seven". As mentioned in other comments, all sushi fish in the US must be frozen for 7 days to kill parasites, so there's no such thing as "fresh" sushi here. That said, you can get day-of fresh fish in Bozeman - it's flown in a few times a week from Seattle, and is quite pricey. A friend of mine has built a business delivering it to restaurants in the morning.

That's all sushi. Even in Japan. Sushi Grade means it was frozen long enough and deeply enough to kill parasites, versus the standard grades which are kept cold, but aren't frozen at all.

Right, I assume whatever Chicago does to get good fish, Bozeman can do too. It's more a question of what the turnover is like in a Bozeman sushi restaurant. And to be clear: it's mostly just snark! I said it was a low-effort comment! :) (It's very neat that you have an eyewitness report of actually being there.)
