This isn't all that hard to do. Sushi is sashimi plus rice.


Sushi is made with sugared rice.


Going with the more expensive sashimi to avoid the rice, what exactly is
in the rice is much less important to low carbers. At least until
maintenance and then depending on your own personal carb quota.

Sushi, for most people, is made with vinegar rice. It's not necessary
to add sugar.


The vinegar is to make it more pliable and sticky. Do some places use
sugar for that purpose? I have seen chefs on TV making sushi rice but I
don't remember the exact ingredients.
