All of which is fine, it just underscores to me that the attitude
towards smoked salmon is cultural and not due to the actual flavor
issues of the salmon itself.

That may be. I've never really noticed that much bad-rap of smoked
salmon, though.

Sushi fans think of it as being non-traditional, so they focus on its
strong flavor, while other strongly-flavored neta are fine.

My impression is that people who are squeamish about uncooked fish, or
slowly inching their way into acceptance of same tend to order
California rolls, tamago, cooked shrimp sushi and smoked salmon. That
is, everything that is cooked and/or not raw fish. I always thought
that was the reason the afficionados rolled their eyes.
