I fail to see how raw fish = delicate flavor or freshness. I'll give you the lightness part, but seriously? Delicate my ass.
Raw fish is pretty darn bland. And that is how so many people like their sushi. They want virtually no flavor, so there are only subtle differences like texture or faint flavors left. Bacon, while greatly improving the taste, will destroy the experience of trying to distinguish one bland flavorless meat from another.
As for freshness, that goes hand in hand with delicate. If your raw fish doesn't taste delicate (bland), that means it tastes like nasty rotten fish flesh. No one wants to eat that. So, if it isn't fresh then it isn't delicate and it isn't the boring near tasteless experience that sushi eaters want.
As an experienced fisherman, I've had the pleasure of being party to cleaning fish. It doesn't get much "fresher" than that. If there ever was such a thing as a "delicate" "fresh" fish, then I haven't met it. There's absolutely nothing delicate about fresh fish.
Delicate
I truly have nothing to say here.
