Probably because we consider it to be "exotic", coupled with the fact that eating raw fish is something that is otherwise not done in our own cuisines. So, novelty.

Right, but the reason that we consider it novel here is because of the raw fish component present in many sushi preparations. If it was just the rice, we wouldn't think twice about it.
