sushi

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'which japanese dish' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'partly gives us hives?' is the wordplay.
'partly' indicates a hidden word (part of the clue is used).
'SUSHI' is hidden within 'gives us hives'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sushi that I've seen before include "Japanese food" , "Japanese cold rice dish" , "Rice, seafood cuisine" , "Cold rice dish, often with raw fish" , "Asian dish" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
