Vietnamese summer rolls or lettuce wraps could be a decent subsitute for a hand roll type sushi.
Grated steamed cauliflower makes a nice low carb rice substitute, but it wont stick together like sushi rice.

Still thinking about the Nori - still from the ocean, so maybe some kind of leaves/cooked spinach? Again, I think I can work around not using a Nori style sushi. But the Rice has me stumped.
I had thought about Couscous, but I dont think it is sticky enough. Also thought about Polenta, but that is too sticky. Any other ideas?
