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." 
http://www.dadspornomag.com/articles/articles_kerisushi.html 
 
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"
