What IS a Raw Bar?

A raw bar is a part of a restaurant (sometimes it’s an entire restaurant itself), that primarily serves raw fish such as shrimp and oysters. Ideally, a raw bar refers to a variety of seafood that’s both cooked and raw but served cold. In some restaurants, other foods accompany the fish that’s served cold. These can include produce, meat, sauces, condiments, and alcoholic beverages such as beer. Most of the time, a raw bar is packed with fresh ice throughout the day to maintain its cold temperature.
