You go to your local supermarket,
and they have lightly packaged fish,
and you take it home. You take the salmon
home. How do you make it kosher to serve?
You're going to turn on the water to not-hot.
You take your sharp non-serrated knife,
and you scrape all sides of the fish.
The top side, the sides, the backside,
the edges, whatever side may have touched knife,
board, or gloves that handle non-kosher residue,
you want to scratch that all off. And then you
want to rinse everything with the same not-hot
water. And now you have cleaned off your fish.
You've also cleaned off your knife. When I often
give this presentation, people will start asking
me afterwards, but you treifed up your sink. So
that was the point of using the not-hot water.
The same way the not-hot water didn't transfer
flavor into the fish, it also won't transfer tam
into the sink, the knife, or anything else. So
that's why we tell you to use not-hot water. Rinse
it, scrape it, rinse it, and you're good to go.
