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. Then you have the classic kosher dairy Italian café with a focus on pasta dishes that may have a decent fish section on their menu. But we are talking here about the entire restaurant and it’s cuisine devoted to fish and seafood. Or, at the very least, the restaurant is really devoted to it’s seafood menu. 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.
