The price of fish can vary greatly depending on several factors, such as the region you live in, the current season, the demand and supply, and the quality of the fish. Some examples of commonly available and generally economical kosher fish include:
- Tilapia:
This popular, lean white fish is generally affordable. It has a mild taste
and is very versatile in the kitchen.
- Herring:
While often consumed in pickled form, fresh herring can also be very
affordable. It's a small, oily fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
- Mackerel:
This oily fish is typically more flavorful than herring and is usually
quite reasonably priced.
- Pollock:
This white fish is often used as a cheaper substitute for cod or haddock.
It's commonly used in products like fish sticks and imitation crab meat.
- Sardines:
These small, oily fish are often sold canned, which can be a very
economical choice. They're also rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
- Carp:
This is a common freshwater fish that can often be found reasonably priced.
Carp has a stronger flavor and is traditionally used in dishes like
gefilte fish.
When purchasing fish, remember that the price per pound is
not the only factor to consider. Ease of preparation, yield (how much meat you
get after filleting and deboning, and personal taste preferences are also important.
Consider canned or frozen options for some species, which can be
more affordable and have a longer shelf life. Always ensure any fish you buy is
fresh and high-quality, even if you're trying to save money.

Herring is fatty period. When bochurim were very skinny ad kdai kach that R' Aron ztvkl was afraid that girls in shidduchim might find it to be a turn off, the rosh yeshiva encouraged them to 'bulk up' by increasing their consumption of herring.
Talapia is garbage fish. Even with being farmed, their production isn't sustainable and can negatively impact local ecosystems. Try something like cod or rock fish. Both can be sustainably caught (ask your fishmonger) and are less than $7 per pound.
I'm serving herring and sardines salad for main course on all 4 meals on Shevoous - leKayem mahnehmaar ' pas bamelech tochal + some simchas Yom Tov.
BTW. I don't need a raise in my Kollel check or from my Shver he should be maarich Yomim Veshonim. Or from the gov't programs.
Most of the above fish have insects
Can’t believe this slipped by our sites host.

The EXPERT said its OK thus no questions.
Professor Amil,
Who gives a dam about sustainability or ecosystems.
The main thing to us simole people is cost, taste and health
You see how with some hashish and Bakshish even the experts OKs it. The washing part is a ‘make me feel good’ chimrah.
I did the shmateh test on the fish and it all came out clean and green.
