We don't eat it together because of health reasons, it is not treif.

The gemara says it is a sakanah. (a danger) That's where the minhag of a l'chaim in middle of the Shabbos meal came from, after the fish people want to drink something before eating meat.

Does anyone know what makes it dangerous? I'm not disputing, just really interested.

Here's ask.moses on the subject.

It is not halacha. If you inadvertently mix thetwo, say you are at an affair which serves both meat and fish dishes side by side, you haven't treifed anything up.

This is one of those things that I always think was based on some faulty reasoning that doesn't really apply anymore. Of course I still follow it but is there any medical evidence that it is dangerous?

Also at weddings there are a lot of times a shmorg w/sushi and fish and carving stations.... are people so careful to drink in between when they eat all of the stuff? It gets mixed up very easily!

In some places I've read to rinse ur mouth and some said drinking is just fine. Its due to health.

Thanks,everyone.I always wondered about it. It's just strange that you can have a piece of sushi immediately followed by a meat calzone,but not have them simultaneously
