As raw as sushi seems, generally the rice is steamed, and sometimes the nori (seaweed) is roasted). I have to agree with you on it being tasty. Real sushi might be one of the reasons I don’t stay 100% raw for long.

There are a number of nice sushi recipes that use things like grated carrot instead of rice. Some also used rice that has been soaked for a few days. I can't imagine that soaked rice is a tasty and fluffy as steamed rice, but I'm sure it's not terrible.

Generally the raw food diet contains no meat. I've heard of a few people eating raw fish with it, but mostly it consists of uncooked fruits and veggies, lots of nuts and grains- oh and sprouts- raw food heads seem to eat a lot of sprouts. I haven't really figured out the sprouting process yet.

The key to the raw food diet is that any time food is heated above 116 f, the natural enzymes in the food are destroyed forcing the body to produce enzymes to break down the food. Some claim cooking also lessens the nutritional value of the food. That’s a discussion for another day though.

I'll post up the sushi recipes I've found and some little finger food type snacks.
