Only those who are trained and qualified are allowed to slaughter kosher animals. Once the animal is no longer alive, another team of folks will examine the animal to be sure the animal is without illness, abnormalities or anything else that can be considered unsanitary.
The lungs in particular must be pure. In addition, all blood, nerves, and most fat must be removed. Fish oh Fish: Fish can be a little tricky. You can eat it at the beginning of a meat meal but also can be eaten with dairy. Oh Those Bottom Dwellers: Lobster lovers might be dismayed to find that for seafood or fish to be kosher, it must have fins and easily removable scales.
Shellfish generally, and lobsters, shrimp, and clams, specifically are not kosher. Fish, on the other hand, such as tuna, carp, and herring, are kosher, but only if they are prepared by a kosher fish monger with kosher cutting implements and machines.
In most cases, scales must be present on the fish in order to be purchased by the consumer. Once soap touches a sponge and then a dish, whatever food particles were on either are not considered food anymore. Sign in. Forgot your password? Get help. Password recovery. Jewish Exponent.

Re-reading Prophecy. So, Nellie, glowing from a day at the beach, and, one would assume, full from her first dinner, is presented with the Restaurant Paradox.
And immediately takes the bait. You mean it? I could feel myself well up with righteous indignation. The insolence! What are the rules here? We just keep kosher when your dad is watching? Our dad, by the way, is pretty much a teetotaler, except for the occasional glass of red or an even rarer Cape Codder that would be defined by most as just a glass of cranberry juice.
This probably factors into why my eldest sister and I are a bunch of umami-craving, overspending, french fry-obsessed, Negroni-guzzlers, though that's a conversation for me and my shrink. Where were we? Oh yes, the Dad Dance. One sister was once spotted literally ducking under a table while seated at a wedding to slurp up something sacrilege, mid-conversation with my Dad.
Which sort of explains it all. You should know: the one thing Nellie loves more than seafood is moral order. This neither-here-nor-there kosher business? No, no, no. In comes Nellie with a bullhorn, and we are forced to face the hypocrisies on our plates. The food in my house was made exclusively by my mother and her parents -- once-divorced, my grandparents came back together in a cold peace under our roof.
But at home, we did it up: two sets of plates and silverware, one for dairy meals and the other for meat, double dishwashers -- the works. When my aging grandparents mixed up a platter or bowl, no one said anything. It wasn't until I was older, that I thought about what my super-rare burger was cooked in butter , or how the poultry might have been killed brutally.
Nellie also loves breaking this one. I don't think our situation is that unique. Sure, I have friends whose families strictly play by the rules. A close friend, who grew up orthodox, during a rumspringa of sorts, tried a cheeseburger for the first time, but she had to make it herself with glatt kosher beef and cholov yisroel cheese.
Is it really that good? Worth it? And, at least for me, embarrassingly, human impulse reigns staring down the barrel of a raw bar.
Rule number four: don't make anyone explain their rules. A big theme of this past year has been Shalom Bayit, literally peace in the home. Now that my sisters are starting families of their own, new lines need to be drawn in the sand. Everyone has to figure out what their version of heritage shrimp is -- to figure out the balance between obligation, commitment, indulgence, and principle in their kitchens.
