On the planet of Risayn the locals are almost exclusively pescatarian. Since First Contact, Earth-style sushi has become an incredibly popular dish in cities and smaller settlements alike, though they often use other ingredients instead of rice, which isn't well known to the inhabitants. It is seen as an important cultural link between Earth and Risayn and is often served when humans and the locals meet.

Interesting. What kind of food did they have before humans introduced sushi? Or was sushi just a novel combination of foods that they were already eating at the time?

They were already eating fish in a variety of ways and the introduction of sushi clicked for the locals.
