Fresh Sushi Grade Tuna

I LOVE Sushi – especially Tuna Nigri and Salmon Nigiri. I love that fresh raw fish in rolls too with other ingredients. I’ve learned to save money by making it myself, but I’m hesitant to use the raw fish I can get locally.
My question is this, can I just use regular fresh tuna or salmon from the fish section of my super market to make sushi? What does “Sashimi grade” fish mean, and how is it different from regular over the counter fresh fish?
Sashimi grade is suitable to be eaten raw.
