Fish have been the central part of the Japanese diet for centuries being an island, and they've developed tons of different ways to better enjoy fish, so it's not a bad idea to get to know some of them.
The first mistake most people make is ordering a bunch of sushi at once instead of a little bit at a time which they recommend. It's because the temperature of the fish actually matters; you're supposed to eat it as soon as it comes on your plate. That's why you sit right at the bar at most sushi places in Japan.
The next big mistake people make is dunking the rice directly into soy sauce, which makes it absorb way too much. The correct way to do it is to flip the fish over so that just the back side of the fish touches the soy sauce. This allows the soy sauce to enhance the flavor of the fish, but without drowning it out.
