Eric Rosenberg is the founder and editor of KosherFish.co, a comprehensive online reference for kosher fish identification. An author and personal finance expert with more than 15 years of experience writing for Forbes Advisor, Investopedia, U.S. News & World Report, TIME, Business Insider, and Reader's Digest, among other major outlets. Raised in a Jewish household and an active member of the Jewish community, Eric created KosherFish.co to provide a clear, sourced reference for everyday questions about which fish are considered kosher under Jewish dietary law. Every fish entry is cross-referenced against the published lists from the Orthodox Union (OU) and Chabad, the two most widely-cited halachic authorities on kosher fish identification. Eric also operates Personal Profitability, Freelancer Dashboard, Narrow Bridge Media, and What's Vegetarian, and is the author of several books on personal finance and freelancing. For binding halachic guidance on specific fish or preparation questions, Eric recommends consulting a qualified Orthodox rabbi. KosherFish.co is a reference tool, not a substitute for direct rabbinical guidance.
