According to Leviticus 11:9-12 (quoted below), we are not to eat anything of the water that doesn't have both fins and scales.
quote:Here is my question: Does mackerel have both fins and scales?
Leviticus 11:9 "These you may eat, of all that are in the waters. Everything in the waters that has fins and scales, whether in the seas or in the rivers, you may eat.
Leviticus 11:10 But anything in the seas or the rivers that has not fins and scales, of the swarming creatures in the waters and of the living creatures that are in the waters, is an abomination to you.
Leviticus 11:11 They shall remain an abomination to you; of their flesh you shall not eat, and their carcasses you shall have in abomination.
Leviticus 11:12 Everything in the waters that has not fins and scales is an abomination to you.
