Meat and fish may not be kashered together. The reason is simple: fish releases and absorbs blood much faster than meat, so if they were salted together, the fish would absorb the blood of the meat, rendering it trefah. I suspect that the prohibition of eating meat and fish together is either an extension or distortion of this law. -- Ted Hopp UUCP: {seismo,allegra}!umcp-cs!nbs-amrf!hopp National Bureau of Standards ARPA: hopp.nbs-amrf.umcp-cs@udel-relay Metrology A127 BELL: (301)921-2461 Washington, DC 20234
