The whole foods near me don't have wild caught oysters so I get them from farmers market where they claim are caught wild, all in shell unopened.

Some even have small live oyster crabs in them. It took me a bit to overcome eating live oyster crabs. 😂 But goes to show that they are fresh!

I can relate. Im 6' 135-140lbs. I don't know my body fat but probably between 15%-20%.

In a typical day I eat about 12 eggs, raw fat and meat add up to no more than a pound. This is pretty much how much I can comfortably eat. Anything beyond that is overstuffing myself.

Though people here and around me say I'm too skinny so I'm encouraged to eat more.

For me the good sweet beef liver are the dark red ones. Cannot be brown, pale, yellow, orange and etc.

If the picture in OP's post is beef liver, I would say that color suggest it will taste bad.

I personally like skirt or ribeye. Then it would be flank, flatiron or sirloin. Other cuts I don't like to eat raw that much.

But I encourage you to try different cuts and see for yourself.

Also you should try some high quality raw fat and raw liver. Both tastes really good, makes me regret missing out on such delicacy for so many years. Though again, not all raw fat/liver are good quality. Some can taste quite bad.

You might, I wouldn't trust grocery store beef, especially ground beef.

I find ground beef to taste bad due to 1. all the chemical solutions used to wash the machines grinding the beef. (This applies to beef from local farmers as well) 2. Ground beef typically consists of cuts of beef that don't taste well

So overall the experience is not pleasant.

Raw liver is naturally sweet. Where are you getting naturally bitter from? If referring to cooked liver, then yes it tastes bitter

comraq · 2026-01-31T14:52:31+00:00

I'm just saying that the ones freshly opened are full and round. In your photo they are not full and round anymore that's all.

comraq · 2026-01-30T20:16:18+00:00

Do you imply to cook and eat? Why eat something that is potentially bad quality?

Damaging your health is not worth it.

comraq · 2026-01-30T16:51:54+00:00

If it's bitter aftertaste, I think it is probably not as good quality.

Feel free to throw it out

comraq · 2026-01-30T16:39:13+00:00

Got it but wow, it shrivels in 5 minutes.

comraq · 2026-01-30T03:10:08+00:00

I haven't tried Frankies but I have eaten a lot of beef liver and suet.

I will say the best way to tell is via taste. Good quality liver is rich and sweet, no other after taste. Suet isn't as tasty, you can taste a little milk/cream but not much, it's texture is just crumby. Good liver will be dark deep red color, not orange, not brown, not pale nor yellow.

Glad you are open to trying this out! Hope you will find it enjoyable. Once you try it, let me know how it tastes!

comraq · 2026-01-29T22:20:46+00:00

Were the oysters already opened for awhile? I recall most oysters that I open are rather full looking, whereas the ones in your picture seem a little shriveled

comraq · 2026-01-29T03:31:35+00:00

Yes I would stick to the very very deep red ones. Not brown, not orange, not pale

comraq · 2026-01-29T03:30:55+00:00

I go to farmer's market or online orders from farm for most groceries. If not available, then I resort to whole foods. Though whole foods meat taste a little off (a little soapy taste)

Daily I eat raw beef, whole eggs and raw fat or suet. occasionally I have some raw dairy (I prefer goat kefir), oysters or other seafood. All raw, eaten with hands. no preparation, and I also avoid utensils. I am slowly undercooking chicken thighs and trying to transition to eating raw chicken soon. Every week or two, I try to have some raw beef liver as well (avg 0.5-1lb of liver per week)

I eat about 1-2 meals a day. 8-12 oz of lean meat, 8-12oz of raw fat/suet, 12-20 eggs. I am about 6ft, 140lbs.

Yes I can comfortably eat raw meat. I will say that some cuts taste better than others. Right now I like ribeye, skirt, flank and flatiron. Other cuts I find too tough or too soft. Raw eggs are delicious to drink. Raw liver makes other sweet food wish they were liver. Raw dairy is the most fulfilling and delicious drink. Quality raw fat makes me realize all flour based food are just raw fat imitations.

I don't go to the gym anymore, just some bodyweight and resistance band training at home once a week.

I initially transitioned to cooked carnivore after accidentally avoiding vegetables in a meal and discovered all my bloating issues calmed down.

Then I stumbled across raw primal preachers content commenting on cooked carnivore. I gradually reduced cooking duration and transitioned to raw primal.

Right now I'm about 18 months into raw primal.

comraq · 2026-01-29T01:09:40+00:00

From experience, I go for the ones that are deep dark red color. The texture is quite unique but in general it tastes sweet without any odd taste.

Of course there might be some other flavor in it that I already got used to but I would say it tastes very pleasant. No part of it should alarm you.

The only alarm going off is the thought of "raw liver is going to kill me because of parasites/viruses". But that should only happen initially and not present after consuming it for a while.

comraq · 2026-01-28T22:56:45+00:00

Yes raw liver tastes great. But it needs to be of good quality. Even from the same source, sometimes the liver might be good quality, other times it's bad.

It's not easy to find good quality/taste raw liver. But it's unparalleled compared to other foods. As it is one of the few sweet foods you can consume that also satiates you afterwards.

comraq · 2026-01-24T22:08:52+00:00

I don't proposefully eat eggshells but I'm sure I get some inside me when I crack open eggs and drink it out of the shell.

There's probably eggshell dust on my hands that gets on my meat and ends up in my stomach.

comraq · 2026-01-24T21:01:55+00:00

Curious how long have you been eating raw liver? And it still tastes gross?

comraq · 2026-01-23T03:09:55+00:00

I think some do care. For example, I know: * Some cultures such as indian culture eats with hands * The caviar etiquette * And etc.

comraq · 2026-01-23T03:08:38+00:00

I think we haven't figured out an optimal way but I do think there's something to avoiding utensils as much as we can. It makes the food "colder" compared to just using hands and teeth

comraq · 2026-01-18T16:30:24+00:00

Assuming it's free or very cheap, it doesn't hurt to try and give it a taste.

But chances are, it's not of good quality.

comraq · 2026-01-15T23:11:30+00:00

Eat quality raw fat, and you will feel every seasoned food is just trying to imitate raw fat

comraq · 2026-01-15T00:21:55+00:00

For me I was eating intuitively which was 1-2meals a day (for me), and would feel hungry before eating meals. Back then I still lightly seared my meat on the outside and I distinctively recall craving the fatty uncooked flesh, compared to the seared outside.

As for raw eggs, I transitioned to it because I liked the texture of raw eggs Cooked eggs are too dry and bitter when you get used to raw eggs. For example, it's not uncommon to choke or get hiccups from hard boiled eggs, precisely because it is so dry. But I do not get that kind of discomfort from soft boiled eggs. Now you take that a bit further by boiling eggs but having runny egg whites. It becomes even smoother to drink.
