Species
Checking that each species has fins and scales, with identification on every lot.
Sectors
Kosher certification for fish products from Spain
With fish, the first question is the species and the second is what else shares the line. We help you answer both with a clear plan.
In short
Only fish with fins and scales are kosher, so shellfish, cephalopods and some scaleless species are not. Certification reviews species identification, separation from shellfish, shared equipment, and the ingredients in smoked, salted and prepared products.
What we certify
- Fresh and frozen fish
- Smoked fish (salmon, cod)
- Salted fish and anchovies
- Roe
- Surimi and fish preparations
