Raw Bar
A Raw Bar is a dining establishment that specializes in serving fresh, uncooked seafood, primarily shellfish. Common offerings include items like oysters, clams, shrimp, and crab. These dishes are often served on ice and accompanied by various sauces, such as cocktail sauce or mignonette, enhancing the natural flavors of the seafood.
Many raw bars also provide a casual atmosphere, allowing patrons to enjoy their meals in a relaxed setting. Some establishments may offer additional menu items, such as sushi or ceviche, which also feature raw fish. Popular in coastal areas, raw bars are a favorite destination for seafood lovers.
