My understanding is that all fish served raw in the US has to be frozen first. So that's what you get at sushi bars.
might be sacrilege to ask, but, could I use frozen?

frozen is absolutely fine,
there is previously not frozen fish and previously frozen fish in the US. Any good Japanese sushi bar uses fresh, not previously frozen fish.
@Kimchitakopoke: “Fresh” wild-caught fish at some of the best Japanese restaurants may still be flash frozen right on the boat at temps far below zero that only commercial freezers can achieve. From the FDA website: “While you can technically use certain fresh, unfrozen fish for sushi, doing so carries a higher risk of parasitic infection. To ensure safety, the FDA recommends that most fish intended for raw consumption be frozen first to kill parasites.”
