For those that use coconut oil over olive oil is it because it withstands higher heat, and has more fat, or is it for other reasons? I started to read about cooks using it just recently.

It is both way over-hyped and amazingly worth the praise. You are talking about eating something raw and unflavoured, it's only as good as it is. As an Iowa guy who grew up in the country, think of it like an apple or a peach. You've probably had last year's cold-stored red delicious from a grocery store and they are just apples. You've also almost surely had fresh picked Fuji or Honeycrisp from a local orchard and some of them were an eating experience that surpasses the greatest creations a world class chef can create. Like heaven in your mouth.
Sushi is the same way, it can be an exquisite exploration of flavor, or it can be something that isn't worth your time and is way not worthy of your hard earned money. In Iowa or Midwestern Pennsylvania, you are probably getting grocery store red delicious sushi unless you know someone in the trade or you fork out for a $40 meal.

I use coconut oil as well as olive oil; depends on what I am cooking. I like using coconut oil in Asian-inspired meals. The flavor adds another dimension.

You can also use unfiltered coconut oil with the flavor in it or filtered coconut oil that has little to no flavor.
It is used for high heat cooking and as Hobbes stated it's good for asian and Indian curry inspired meals.
I just roasted five heads of garlic to use throughout the week. My apartment smells wonderful. I'm looking forward to cooking new dishes.

London Broil has been marinating for a few hours and has about 25 more hours to go.
Got a bone in pork shoulder for tomorrow. Gonna do a little porchetta action with it. Smother it in garlic, rosemary, sage, lemon, olive oil overnight. Gonna do it on the grill. Likely in a pan to retain juice and get that skin nice and crispy. It's a 10 pound fucker, so gonna take a while.

Made sushi and sashimi. The dark red pieces on the right are from a piece of loin that I bought as well.
i've never had sushi. i've never had the desire to try it.

chadwick, I bet you would dig it.
(of course this has made me crave the now-defunct Brown Derby's lobster thermidor - damn, that was so so good)
i used to boil it but have steamed it a bit more of late as it's easy to overcook when boiling. I'd like to grill sometime but never have.
