PARK SLOPE — Talk about a raw deal.

A crook snuck into a closed sushi restaurant and swiped $933 in ingredients including fish eggs, crab and lobster, according to a police report.

The burglar stuck Mura, a sushi restaurant at 369 Fifth Ave., sometime between midnight and 11 a.m. on Sept. 1, according to the report.

The thief entered the restaurant through a rear door and stole between 10 and 20 pounds of lobster, 30 pounds of beef, 15 pounds of shrimp, $85 in crab and $100 worth of tobiko — fish eggs. The burglar was apparently thirsty, too, and took $200 in sake, plus orange juice, Coke and Sprite, according to the report.

No arrests had been made in the case as of Thursday.

A representative of the restaurant was not available for a comment Thursday.
