Have You Tried Raw Bar Catering NYC?

By Stacey Burt


Contemporary urban life is sometimes very challenging in terms of diet. Trying to source and consume the necessary nutrients, such as the full range of vitamins and the specialized minerals that the body needs, can be expensive and take up time. However, as a rich source of important nutrients, seafood is an option that people should take more seriously. Raw bar catering NYC offers professionally prepared raw and cooked seafood, not only for those experimenting with their diet but also for those who are serious about getting all the right nutrients.

The nutritional importance of seafood lies in its concentrations of omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids, which nourish the neurological system (brain and nerves), as well as the high protein value of seafood in general (it is similar to chicken or prime beef). The skeletons of fish, which is sometimes edible in the smaller species, also contains important minerals.

Raw bars serve the seafood in various forms, some of which may be familiar to the Western consumer, others not. As an example, there is the carpaccio style, which is a traditional Italian dish, usually made with uncooked red meat. Preparing it with a marine animal is therefore not so different to what the customer may be used to. On the other hand, sushi is the traditional Japanese seafood cuisine, although it has established a significant presence in other parts of the world.

In itself, the idea of eating meat raw might be difficult to process for some customers. Some consumers may not have any previous experience of raw dishes, or they may have been discouraged from eating them by fellow consumers who distribute incorrect information. They should be reassured by the fact that raw protein is not new in the traditional cuisine of some parts of the world, and that the preparation of such dishes does not pose a threat to their health.

Then there is also the fact that some raw bar establishments try to expand their menu with cooked dishes. These are still seafood-orientated, but they are cooked. Those who do not desire to experiment with raw options are then able to resort to their more accustomed fare.

The emphasis in the menu of a raw bar is on shellfish. Examples of these are prawns, oysters, clams and mussels, all of which are present in various species. This translates into a large diversity of possible offerings, and each bar may offer different species. The customary presentation is with a citrus condiment, such as lemon juice, or sometimes with alcohol. As a separate menu section, there is sushi, which already has an established presence in Western dining experience.

The cooked dishes served in raw bars are perhaps more conventional to USA consumers, such as clam chowder or cured salmon. There is, however, a large range of other dishes, such as steamed clams and poached shrimp. Sometimes, the difficulty of preparing these dishes at home may make the experience of eating them at the raw bar an instructive lesson in their preparation.

For those who are tired of the mundane succession of microwave dinners, takeaways and vitamin tablets, seafood is a realistic alternative. Maintaining the right diet in the city is sometimes challenging, so seafood offers a highly nutritious option.
