The first 5 Sushi Commandments (according to food republic) 1. Thou Shalt Not Drown Thy Sushi (Submerging a piece of sushi in soy sauce kills the very taste of the fish that you have ordered) 2. Thou Shalt Use Chopsticks (Those wooden sticks that you probably think are impossible to use? Yeah, those are for eating the fish that you order.) 3. Honor Thy Ginger (The fresh or pickled ginger that is provided with virtually every sushi dish is to cleanse the palate between different cuts of fish, or at the end of the meal.) 4. Thou Shalt Not Take More Than One Bite (This is a common mistake, as a piece of sushi can be too large for one bite for some people. But not only can breaking up a piece of sushi cause a great mess, it is also considered bad etiquette.) 5. Diversify Your Order (Beginner sushi eaters will often order rolls, which many consider a tasty, and safe, bet. Experienced sushi eaters like sushi for the distinct tastes of each type of fish, and not for the disproportionate amounts of rice and seaweed you tend to get in a roll. Were not against ordering rolls. Just why not branch out next time?)
