Bekasam is a term for a dish made from raw shellfish mixed with natural spices and herbs. This culinary delicacy is similar to the dekke naniura of the Toba Batak people or the gohu fish, a dish typical of the Ternate people, a dish made from raw tuna mixed with lime, salt, and basil. Consuming this raw fish is very popular in Japan, known as sashimi. It turns out that Indonesian cuisine is no less interesting than Japan's; we also have a culinary tradition of fermented fresh shellfish. The method used was to educate participants not only on preserving this tradition but also on how to develop it into an alternative culinary specialty of the sea or coastal culture. The outcome of this community service activity was that participants understood the value of coastal cultural heritage, which, if not preserved, will be lost over time. The conclusion of this community service activity showed an increase in the participants' knowledge and attitudes toward preserving this alternative culinary specialty as a distinctive part of coastal culture. All participants enthusiastically participated in the series of activities and listened attentively to the material presented.
