I lucked into this once and have done it a few times since. I consider it a perk of polite conversation with others at the sushi bar. You don't comment on your opinion of it; just ask if they would like to try it. You get perks for generosity, avoid a second mouthful you dislike and if they actually like it, all the better. I have also been on the receiving end of this scenario and sometimes you make new friends in the process too.
That is GENIUS! I shall remember that, although luckily I've only come across a few things I've disliked (minced raw salmon gunkan. flavorless slime *gag* Avoid.)
