WHY FISH ARE NOT KOSHER

Why is the kosher process of removing blood not applicable to fish. Are fish , do fish need kosher processes?

RE: Is meat salted?

These days, virtually all kosher meat available for sale in the US is salted. However, there still may be some butchers who leave it up to the buyer to salt his/her own meat. If you are not sure, just ask your butcher.

(It is important to note that liver must also be broiled in order to purge it of blood, and you may have to do this by yourself at home.)

is the meat already salted when it's sold or do we have to salt it ourselves after purchasing it?

RE: Kosher Meat

Just like other kosher species, deer may be eaten if it was slaughtered according to tradition AND salted afterward to draw out the blood. One without the other is not sufficient. (In addition, because it is a wild animal, there is the obligation to cover its blood with dirt after it is killed.)

Kosher Meat

Is venison (deer meat) kosher, if it is killed according to the kosher rules or is it a forbidden meat? Is there a process that can be used to kosher it if not killed according to the rules, such as soaking in salt ?

Kosher products

I really wished that there were as many kosher products available in Germany as in Canada!
The only alternative: a strictly vegetarian way of life.
