The Head of an Unclean Fish
Question
In my place of residence (abroad), there are no whole kosher fish available in the fish store. Is there any point in buying a non-kosher fish in order to take its head and place it on the table on Rosh Hashanah night?
Answer
Shalom!
I have not seen anyone mentioning this question in Torah works, but logically, there is no good sign in an unclean fish.
