OK Kosher Certification and The Kasruth Standards for Kosher Restaurants

We have lately added lots of kosher restaurants all over the USA that are being supervised, and have a kosher certification from the OK Kosher Certification. So in this post, we want to discuss the Kashruth and standards used by the OK Kosher Certification for all the restaurants it supervises.

Go Beyond Gefilte Fish, Explore Kosher Seafood Restaurants

While many kosher dairy restaurants carry fish dishes, their main focus is not on seafood. You have the pizza stores that have a sushi chef creating custom sushi and cooked rolls.

Al Di La Kosher Pizerria and Bistro in Monsey (Wesley Hills) is a hidden gem and good example. Located in the Wesley Kosher shopping center on NY State Route 306, just about 2 miles north of the main Monsey shopping district, they server home made pizzas and Italian dishes. But they also have a nice selection of fresh seafood, including Chilean sea bass, fresh tuna steaks and salmon. You can check out our full Kosher Seafood Restaurant Directory.
