In Japanese food stores, fresh seafood is usually marked as =
"=1B$B@8?)=1B(BOK" (nama shoku OK) meaning
"OK to consume raw", or =1B$B!I2CG.MQ!I=1B(B (kanetsu you) meaning "for =
cooking".
According to my local store, the "for cooking" sign means that either =
the product was never purchased
originally for raw consumption, or it was purchased for raw consumption =
but 2 days have passed without
being sold.

Shirako as far as I have ever seen it served either as an appetizer or =
sushi neta, has always been in raw form.
