Question
Hello Rabbi, Are fish eggs considered as fish, and therefore should the laws of eating meat and fish together apply to them? Best regards and thank you.
Answer
Initially, it is advisable to be stringent in this matter
However, if someone is lenient in this, they should not be rebuked.
Source
According to the instructions of the Gaon, Rabbi Ovadia Fried, shlita.
As explained in Keneset HaGedolah (Hagahot Beit Yosef, Siman 87, Ot 43, cited in Shulchan Gavoa, there, SK 34) that their status is the same as fish.
However, since in She'elot u-Teshuvot Halachot Ketanot (Part 2, Siman 70) it is written that they are not considered fish, and that they are like complete eggs (Yoreh De'ah 87:5), and many are lenient in this, one who is lenient in this should not be rebuked.
