I work in a kitchen so I should probably know this answer, but i just started taking cooking safety classes and I’m curious as to why certain meats like fish etc can be eaten raw or undercooked, as opposed to meats like chicken? which will make you sick if you eat it undercooked.
(apologies for Grammer, English is not my 1st language)

It has to do with the diseases the animal is likely to carry.
Healthy cows give healthy meat. We still sear it because bacteria can gather between butchering and serving. Same with pork.
Chicken is usually fully cooked because it just tastes better, but also because people are afraid of salmonella.
Fish is usually submerged in salt water to get rid of bacteria and parasites, or frozen, making it safe to eat raw.
