I used to eat a pretty good amount of sushi (a few rolls for lunch, three or four days a week) and I never experienced any kind of euphoric feeling from it, so it must be you. It's still damn tasty though :D

I also thought it was something to do with the amount of mercury/toxicity thats in each kind of fish

You should try downloading this useful app...

About 2 years ago I had my first sushi experience. Growing up it just wasn't a part of our food palette. My friends and family didn't help with that either. When everyone says it's gross.. you start to pick up on that. Looking back at it, I'm not sure they even tried the good stuff.

Every time I ate Sushi over the last 2 years I would have a beer. Also a light weight with beer it didn't take much to get me buzzed. I did however notice that It only took 1 beer to get me kinda drunk while eating sushi. Normally it would take 3 or 4 to get me this buzzed. I swore that I was getting high off of the sushi but my friends just though I was a super light weight.

Finally the last two times i've gone out for sushi I have done it without a beer. Turns out the high feeling is much more intense. I just could not stop smiling! I laugh a lot, feel crazy great and the feeling lasts for 2-4 hours after I stop eating.

Am I really getting high or is this euphoria a real side effect of eating raw fish?

I've done some Google searches and although I have found some other stories similar to mine, I have yet to find a reliable article about it.

Does anyone else experience this? None of my friends do, which I find odd.

If you find out which ingredient makes you high, you should package and sell it, and without even seeking FDA approval. Call it a "legal high" and advertise it in High Times.

Carbohydrates (like white rice) are addictive and activate the reward center in your brain. They also give you energy since it's sugar.

Eat a large bowl of white rice and drink a beer with it and see if it gives you a similar effect. I've done this before (not the beer, just the rice) and it made me feel sort of how you described.

Also the protein and other stuff in the fish could make you feel various effects.

Look at this: http://www.more2hug.com/moodfood.html
Foods that make you feel alert:

The best way to eat for alertness is to have meals that contain protein, are low in fat, and have carbohydrates that won't drag you down.
...
Examples of some protein-packed foods are: fish, shellfish, poultry (without skin), very lean beef (trimmed), low-fat cottage cheese, skim or low-fat milk, low-fat yogurt, dried peas and beans.
Energized:

Tuna - Tuna makes a great lunch or after-workout meal. Tuna contains the protein needed to repair muscles and it supplies tyrosine which your body can then use to create the two alertness neurotransmitters, dopamine and norepinephrine.
Happy:

Salmon - Salmon or any other cold-water fish contains the mood-elevating vitamin B12 as well as omega-3 fatty acids that may assist in preventing depression. Omega-3 raises serotonin levels in the brain. Serotonin regulates mood and reduces irritability. Eating fish to regulate your mood isn't instantaneous, it is a long-term process and therefore it would be beneficial to regularly incorporate fish into your diet.
