Question:
May one eat fish by the large meal eaten prior to the Seudas Hamafsekes??
Answer:
Yes it is permitted to eat fish during the accustomed large meal that takes place before Mincha. The restriction against eating fish only applies to the Seudas Hamafsekes meal which is the last meal eaten before Tisha B’av, after midday, and even then its restriction is due to custom and is under debate, [although we are stringent by this last meal].
