Raw bar

Raw bars may offer alcoholic beverages such as oyster shooters, as well as wine and sake that is paired with various foods.

Some also offer ceviche, a dish prepared with raw seafood that is cured with citrus juices, particularly lime.

[6] Raw bars sometimes supplement the menu with cooked versions of the same and additional seafoods and shellfish that are typically served cold, such as clam chowder, oyster stew, poached shrimp, shrimp cocktail, cooked or seared scallops, mussels, crab legs, lobster, cured salmon, sea urchin and steamers (steamed clams).

[1][2][4][6] Sometimes lightly cooked liver or foie gras is a raw bar item.

Other food additions may include lime, tomato, chili peppers, mignonette sauce and caviar.
