fish at non-kosher restaurant |
| Message: |
Hi,
What is the proper way to instruct a waiter at a non-kosher restaurant to prepare kosher fish so I can eat it?

the ideal process is to go into the kitchen and turn the fire on yourself. If it is a grill and it is relatively clean, in a few minutes it is Kashered and let them put the fish on themselves. Make sure they tell you all the ingredients they will use. If it is a pot on the stove, if you put the pot on a reasonably high fire empty, in a few minutes anything is burnt off. That's called Libun. By you putting the fire on, you're avoiding Bishul Akum, which works in a Restaurant even for Sephardim. You don't need to stand there and watch it. Unless there's a chance they will switch it on you to something non-kosher. That won't happen in any decent restaurant.
The kosher restaurants I can't be as confident about. Don't forget that the Mashgiach often is doing this job because he couldn't get a job at the Lakewood Cheder. I'll leave the rest to your imagination....lol
