In Italian, crudo (Italian: [ˈkruːdo]) means 'raw'.[1] In Italian cuisine, this word can be used with a lot of food: pesce crudo means 'raw fish', and carne cruda means 'raw meat', similar to steak tartare.

An example dish of crudo consists of raw fish dressed with olive oil, salt, acidic juices (such as lemon or lime), and vinegar.[2]

A New York City chef and author, Chef David Pasternack, describes crudo as Italian sashimi.[2]
