Many fish are used in sushi dishes, but you cannot produce sushi without using any seafood or fresh fish. Since most part of Japan is exposed to Sea, both seafood and rice have always been commonly eaten. Originally, sushi was preserved fish with rice stored in salt, and this became a standard dish for a thousand years in Japan before the development of modern sushi in the Edo Era.
