A great many creatures in this world eat other creatures to live, yet only humans cook their meat. From that alone, you should be able to conclude that uncooked meat isn't inherently bad or unsafe... if you ate it immediately after the death of the creature, but that doesn't often happen in modern civilizations. Fortunately, refrigeration allows us to transport fish considerable distances while keeping it quite fresh, otherwise, the only place you'd be able to get good (fresh) sushi would be in a costal town/city.

Mostly because it's very fresh.
