Slanker's is indeed a great company with an awesomely informative website.
My one complaint is that my order from them arrived partially thawed and VERY messy/bloody. It was quite a mess getting it all into the freezer!

This is the first time I've eaten any kind of raw meat outside of a Japanese restaurant.

It's tuna; threw salt and pepper on it. Nasty shit--I don't like the consistency of tuna cooked or raw (canned is okay... I don't know why), and while this was frozen and it might've helped the texture some, I'm having a hard time getting this down.

The flavor is way stronger then when eaten cooked or canned. And the flavour won't go away either, keeps mixing with this soda (I know, soda's are horrible--working on it).

One more piece, the biggest, to get down. I ate 4 already.

Amazing how the gag reflex is so easily controlled by social programming.

And it's down. That sucked. Gonna be a while before I can do that again. God forbid with the beef... gah.

Raw tuna for beginners goes down well with lemon and soy sauce.
Eventually, you won't need any, nor want any condiments.

The beef that seems to taste bad are only those grain fed, not so good tasting beef.  Grass fed beef you will taste the very good difference. 

Wild game I hear tastes even better.

It's yellowfin, not sure if it's wild caught or not.

I've had it as sashimi too, and was really unhappy with the texture, but the flavor was better and really mild. Not sure what the difference was; could be a different kind. Maybe I've just been unlucky.

The benefit, though, is after getting it down I felt fine. I didn't get that nasty, full/low-energy feeling I get when I eat cooked meat. That alone is worth it.

I still have another half of that tuna steak to get through too... gag. Maybe I'll start a journal--might motivate me more.

I agree! Raw fish actually has less of a fishy taste than cooked fish. Make sure it is sushi-grade or freshly caught and immediately put on ice.  I had some seared tuna once that was pale and didn't taste quite right. There's no telling of what might have happened to it. Frozen then thawn... allowed to drip... who knows? It was certainly nothing like the one I saw, which led me to order it.
