Treifos by Fish

Question:

Do the laws of Treifos apply to fish? May one eat a fish which is not able to live due to an injury or defect?

 

Answer:

The laws of Treifos do not apply to fish and hence one may eat an injured or defected kosher fish. For this reason, it is even permitted to eat a live fish, even though doing so would deem the fish unlivable.
