Idiomatic

Does this sentence sound idiomatic?

Sushi is not for everyone. <== some people are allergic to fish

Thanks

I don't think so... Sushi mainly consists of rice, and some seafood on top. But there is not a must for the seafood, you can add something else like red meat also.

Thank you, but I really have never eaten Sushi.

"Sushi is not for everyone" is idiomatic, but it does not specifically mean or imply that some people are allergic to fish. It just means that not everyone likes or wants to eat sushi.
