Eating Fish and Meat Together

Question

What is the source of the prohibition against eating meat with fish?

Answer

This prohibition is found in the Shulchan Aruch, Yoreh Deah 116:2. It is based on the Talmud’s statement in Pesachim 76b that fish that was roasted together with meat should not be eaten because it is bad for one’s health.
