raw fish

Sushi bar staple

Raw fish is uncooked fish, typically prepared for eating.

The term appears most often in discussions of sushi, sashimi, and other cuisines where fish is served without heat treatment: I love raw fish but my husband won't touch it.

Raw fish requires careful handling and freshness to be safe for consumption.
