Several of these recent comments make me wonder about where the sushi was eaten. The longer fish is kept before eating the more the texture changes, as well as being changed by the manner in which it is prepared.
I am hoping that the squid described as "slippery" was just an unusual choice of words. if it was truly slippery, then I would suspect it was not fresh. While fresh slice squid has a sheen to it, it does not usually develop a slippery coating until it has set out for a while.
I have never thought of eel as having an odd texture until one night when I cooked it myself. If it is under-cooked or over marinated it is a bit too soft or even mushy, and not how I would prefer to eat it.
