Interestingly, Sushi has dramatically evolved over the course of time. A famous tale precedes our current understanding of sushi today. In the second century, A.D., rice wrapped fish was used as a preservation instrument instead of an accompaniment to the fish. Raw fish was placed in rice and allowed time to ferment, allowing for the fish to be kept edible for some time. When ready, the individual discarded of the rice and consumed the fish.
