Thanks very much for honoring my efforts in your behalf.
I'm re-posting the relevant information from the answer:

Since you noted that sushi-eating records would be of interest
to you, I tracked down the following notations:
From an article by Robert Trout, in DPM Magazine online
about Keri Kelli, a local Hollywood rock star:
"To show the public that he is deadly serious about this new
career change, Kelli recently visited the Huntington Beach
location of Sushi for Sail and proceeded to break the
world's record for sushi-eating by devouring an incredible
1,256 pieces of assorted sushi in a single sitting. Kelli
feasted on a variety of yellowtail, tuna, and shrimp with
several dozen handrolls thrown in for good measure."

Since yellowtail, tuna and shrimp are mentioned, one wonders
if the writer, like many people, uses the word sushi to include
sashimi, which is a lesser-known word.
From an article by CHIE MATSUMOTO, Asahi Shimbun News Service:
"The competition is fierce. The senior law student polished off
34 plates of sushi in a preliminary session involving 52
participants for the popular ``TV Champion'' program on TV
Tokyo last summer. He was left biting the dust of two
competitors who consumed more than 60 plates and proceeded
to finals against the defending champions."
"...recent TV shows have led to an increase in customers trying
to break the sushi-eating record, which is 85 plates in one
hour, held by champion Nobuyuki Shirota."

Those are the only useful entries returned in 14 hits from a
Google search for:
sashimi OR sushi "eating record"
://www.google.com/search?q=sashimi+OR+sushi+%22eating+record%22
if you do a site search at the International Federation of
Competitive Eating, there are no results for sashimi, and
only one for sushi, on two pages, noting one of the provider
members of the Federation:
"TV Tokyo
Japanese Regional Contests
Sushi
Season: April through June"
