Fromn this web hit, I'd guess it describes their species or
provenance rather than their preparation.
(Emphasis added.)
============
"Sushi"
slice of raw fish wrapped around Japanese rice Nishiki
(prawn, salmon, tuna, halibut, squid, salmon roe, *St. Jacob's scallops*)
4 types according to individual selection
580,-

"Sashimi"
plate of pieces of raw fish served according to a traditional Japanese recipe
(salmon, tuna, halibut, squid, octopus, salmon roe, *St. Jacob's scallops*)
possible to adapt according to individual selection
890,-

Or, from a review of a Warsaw restaurant:
Let's begin with appetizers like tuna tartar with fresh tomatoes
(zl.25), *St. Jacob's mussels* (zl.25), or a venison and red cabbage
salad (zl.35).

Two of everything, I'd guess.  For when you're really hungry.
