Fresh and frozen kosher species of fish, either whole or filleted, are permitted provided that some skin (bearing easily detachable scales) is attached. All minced fish, fish fingers and other products containing fish require Rabbinical supervision.
This page lists kosher species of fish as well as information about kosher fish around the world. Fish are often known by different names in different countries, and on occasion the same name may be applied abroad to a different species which may not be kosher.
Email [email protected] with any queries or to request fish lists for other countries.
