Yes, they do. Most Japanese like it a lot. They call it sashimi. I know that it seems strange to most foreigners at first. But once they taste it they usually like it. It doesn't taste "fishy" at all - just fresh and delicious. Fish used for sashimi has to be very fresh - maybe that's why it's so good.
They use almost any kind of fish for sashimi. Tuna, flounder, shrimp, abalone, squid, octopus. Many others too. Some kinds, like shrimp and octopus, may be cooked slightly.
How do they eat sashimi?
They dip the thinly-sliced fish fillet in soy sauce and a little hot green horseradish. Another way to eat raw fish is on top of bite-size ovals of vinegar-flavored rice. It's called nigiri-zushi.
