in Thailand now, which should have an interesting selection but pretty hard to communicate with the market people.

Ah, so "Caviar" is the processed type? Will look for roe then.

As for the fishy smell - I just realized, each time I've had the fish, I went all-out and messed around with the entire thing with my bare hands ... perhaps not the best thing to do, especially when living with a partner :) Will try fillets then.
Any recommended shellfish to try out other than oysters?

Thanks again guys. Last night I went and got some chicken parts after all - only meat I could source that day and reaally felt like trying some raw meat. The result - OK, got most parts down fairly easy, BUT I think I'd rather go for more seafood to start with (regardless of source, thanks for the info eveheart.). When I tried fish it was more enjoyable for me, except the smell and aftertaste.
So, any tips/links on getting the tastiest/least smelly fish or shellfish would be great, I am an absolute newbie on this. I remember I saw a BBC program where they showed the grizzly eating nothing but the Caviar. Do you guys eat this? Never saw it on the market, perhaps too expensive?

(I'm not into making any recipes or adding anything to the food. Just a personal preference.)

Thanks a lot guys. So far I've tried some different types of fish, chicken meat and hearts, liver and gizzard. There's a good chance they were not fresh enough, and perhaps I started out with too much - The aftertaste was unpleasant for a good while, had some gas and was troubled by the smell left on my hands, kitchen, etc.
I think I'll try the shellfish. More ideas would be great. When eating BBQ, I used to love chicken hearts and spleens, are these typically recommended?

Hi everyone, newbie here, went through some of the stickies and got some info.

So far I haven't found raw animal foods I can enjoy. I know it's a gradual process, but I'd like to have at least a couple things i can really enjoy right now.  I do have some personal terms:

- I do not wish to cook, or use seasonings, marinates and spices, not even to begin with.
- Generally I don't mind some blood and gooey stuff, organs or sea food, but my tongue and nose are sensitive, and so far did not manage to take the things I've tried, or their aftertaste. Most preferably foods which will not leave too much odor around my body or the kitchen, and of course digest pretty well.

Thanks!
