Living animals

Raw oysters, which are still alive, presented on a plate.

Ikizukuri, live fish served as sashimi.

Islamic law, Judaic law (including Noahide Law), and some laws of some Christians forbid any portion that is cut from a live animal (Genesis 9:4, as interpreted in the Talmud, Sanhedrin 59a). However, in the case of a ben pekuah where a live offspring is removed from the mother's womb, these restrictions do not apply. Eating oysters raw, ikizukuri, and other similar cases would be considered a violation of this in Jewish law.
