      Really depends on where you draw the line on processing I guess.

      Cooking? Killing? Seasoning?

      There’s a popular dish in Thailand; กุ้งเต้น Goong Dten “Dancing Shrimp”; made of tiny whole live shrimp seasoned with lime and chilies.

      Arguably less processed than a raw oyster
      Also, arguably more processed than a raw oyster.

        I think puritans will say unprocessed is live unseasoned.

        I have tried raw oysters once and found that they are only palatable when cooked, as swallowing a ball of slime was not easy, and lemon did not help at all.

        Opening the shell does nothing to what’s inside. I wouldn’t call that processing of the meat.

          Isn’t the shell kept closed by “the meat”? By opening it you are cutting through their muscles. Being stabbed is quite a process.

            So is living. If you’re going to be that pedantic no unprocessed food can possibly exist.
