About Raw Fish

Raw fish is fish flesh that has not been cooked by heat before serving. It is used in preparations such as sashimi, crudo, tartare, and ceviche, as well as other dishes where fish is served uncooked or treated with seasonings.

Appearance and texture vary substantially with species and cut. Flesh may be translucent, pearly, pink, red, or white, with a moist texture ranging from delicate and tender to firm. Oily and lean fish also differ in flavour, so this category has no single sensory profile.

Raw fish may be portioned as slices, cubes, minced flesh, or thin pieces, and sold or prepared as plain flesh or a seasoned component. Acid, salt, or other treatments can change surface texture and appearance without heat; trimming, cutting, and treatment therefore alter the culinary result.

Reference values per 100 g for the displayed USDA form. Varieties, recipes, brands and preparation can differ.

Portions & preparation

Identify the fish species and edible portion before using a reference, since flesh, skin, roe, and mixed cuts differ. Raw, chilled, frozen, cured, marinated, or cooked forms are not interchangeable. Preparation with oil, salt, citrus, sauces, or garnishes should be recorded separately.

Compare the right form: Match references to the named fish species and raw edible flesh portion; sashimi, ceviche, tartare, skin-on cuts, roe, and cured forms require distinct matching.

Diet considerations

Raw fish is animal-derived seafood. It is incompatible with diets excluding fish, and compatibility also changes when mixed with egg, dairy, meat, alcohol, sauces, or cereal-based accompaniments. Ceviche and other acid-marinated preparations remain distinct from cooked fish; species and processing must be established before dietary classification.

What these diet assessments mean
Vegan · Typically incompatible
The ingredient profile identifies an animal-derived food or derivative.
Vegetarian · Typically incompatible
The profile identifies animal flesh, seafood or a derivative excluded by a vegetarian diet.
Pescatarian · Typically compatible
Seafood fits this pescatarian definition. Added meat-based stock or other ingredients would need checking separately.
Keto · May be compatible
The plain form may fit a carbohydrate-restricted diet. Check the portion, added sugar, coatings and sauces against the nutrition values above.
Paleo · May be compatible
May fit a paleo pattern, depending on the cut or form, processing and added ingredients.
Low-carb · May be compatible
The plain form may fit a carbohydrate-restricted diet. Check the portion, added sugar, coatings and sauces against the nutrition values above.
Halal · Not established
Sourcing, processing and any applicable certification have not been verified. A food name alone does not establish halal status.
Kosher · Not established
Sourcing, processing and any applicable certification have not been verified. A food name alone does not establish kosher status.

For the plain ingredient · Awaiting review. Diet compatibility is not allergy suitability or halal/kosher certification. Keto and low-carb depend on the portion.
