First of all, in Japan, Maki-sushi (rolls), are the exception to the norm. I beleive they were created for card players so they could pick them up without getting the cards messy. The comonplace of sushi rolls is tradionally more of an American/Euro thing.
Nigiri sushi, on the other hand is the most common. It is a piece of fish placed upon a rice ball, generally with some wasabi between them. I think this is what you refer to as "like ebi". Ebi being shrimp, which you probably had nigiri style. Point is, just about all types of fish are served this way, and in my eyes is the best way to eat sushi.
If you get a good sushi chef, he will generally be honored if you just leave what you are served up to him. Just tell him that you do not like nori, and he will leave it out of whatever he makes. This method generally leads to the best, freshest sushi, as he wants to impress you with his skills. And is a nice break for him from being lowered by making california rolls all night. He will keep your plate full until your are done eating.
As a side note, the technically correct way to eat sushi is with your hands!

Thanks a bunch. I did just use Ebi as a refference to the style, since the word nigiri escaped my head.
I will try what you suggested.
I also have always eaten them with my hands, I can use chopsticks just fine, but it seemed like the correct way.
