(*) An attempt at guessing what the danger may be:  if fish and meat were
    served together, the diners might not notice the fish and thus be less
    careful, thinking there is only meat served to them.  The danger referred
    to being fish bones (much more treacherous than meat bones, esp. in such
    fish as carp!).  To substantiate such a guess would require to know what
    kind of dishes were served in the Mishnaic/Talmudic times in the Near-East.

I have no documentation on this, but when I was taught of the "no
meat and fish on the same plate" thing, the rabbi said that it has
been medically discovered that meat and fish react in an unhealthy
manner when combined in the eater's innards.  Why this does not apply to meat
eaten directly after fish, I do not know.

Has anyone else heard this?  Does anyone have a source for this
"medical" information?
