I know there is at least one other raw food enthusiast on the forum. I, too really like raw food, and eat it often, though not exclusively.

These are my favorite raw foods:

1. Oysters
2. Mussels
3. Cherry Stone Clams

I never thought I would encounter anything on earth that tasted as good as raw oysters, until once in a bar in Annapolis, MA, a bartender suggested I try Cherry Stone Clams on the half shell. My God! They are delicious.

I would prefer to eat the three above shellfish with no sauce, whatsoever, but if they are mediocre I will use some lemon. Rarely, with oysters, I will use a red cocktail sauce.

4. Scallops
5. Most white fish

These should be marinated in lemon or lime juice for twenty minutes or so.

6. Beef

Yes! Good quality beef is excellent raw, and I have been eating beef raw all my life, though, of course, I eat cooked beef, as well. Slice the lean beef free of any visible fat or gristle, across the grain. A pinch of sea salt, and it is delicious.

7. Eggs (Free range, preferably organic). Mostly the yolks raw, but I will drop the whole egg into a broth. It will cook the egg, slightly.

There are always some idiotic rumors afloat about raw eggs being poisonous. Utter BS. Every damn creature on earth that can eat raw eggs, will do so, sometimes including the chickens that laid the eggs.

Rather than attempt to add posts to what I thought might be a serious post about food, I'm just going to edit this post. I left out what may be the two most obvious raw foods.

8. Tuna
9. Salmon

Please add your own favorite raw foods.

I eat a lot of raw vegtables. It sounds like you are eating a lot of fish bait.

Have you ever heard of the tapeworm?

Fish bait? Everything is fish bait. You, me, everyone and everything. If you are fortunate enough to have someone toss your deceased body into the sea, you are fish bait. And what eats you, someday will also be fish bait. And, what eats that eater, and so on.

I can't think of a better thing than to be eaten by fish. I eat them; someday they will eat me. Makes me happy, just to think about it.

Mostly hysteria. It's almost impossible to get worms from well-inspected meat or fish.

If you get worms, they are mostly harmless, easy to detect, and easy to rid yourself of. For the most part your system will rid itself of worms without any intervention. Lots of garlic will clean out almost all worms.

In a sense I suppose you are right but I've never fished with a chunk of dead man.

My guess is that you could use a human corpse to catch a lot of crabs. I've never eaten crabs, raw. I used to catch them using beef tongue. It's great for crab bait. It is so tough that the crab won't quickly tear the tongue and the tongue can be used over and over. Just dangle it (the cow tongue) over the pier on a string and net the crab when it grabs the cow tongue.

Thinking about it, crab meat, marinated in lime juice, might be good. Anyone know?

Shrimp, crab, lobster, clams, mussels, all these are an abomination before the Lord, just as gays are an abomination. Why stop at protesting gay marriage? Bring all of God's law unto the heathens and the sodomites. We call upon all Christians to join the crusade against Long John Silver's and Red Lobster. Yea, even Popeye's shall be cleansed. The name of Bubba shall be anathema. We must stop the unbelievers from destroying the sanctity of our restaurants.

Man you sure collected the freaks on this thread.

I guess I'll have to forgo the pleasure of my enemies blood oozing down my chin for fear of AIDS

Shrimp, crab, lobster, clams, mussels, all these are an abomination before the Lord, just as gays are an abomination...It's not what enters the mouth which is sinfull. But, that which exits. Besides, it's illegal to eat gay men
