What pareve means, and why it is so useful
Pareve (also spelled parve) means a food is neither meat nor dairy. Fish, eggs, vegetables, grains, and fruit are all naturally pareve, which is why sushi bars, fish restaurants, and many vegan or vegetarian kitchens fall into this category.
The practical value is flexibility. A pareve meal can be eaten straight after a meat meal with no waiting, and it can be followed by dairy, so it fits any point in the day. Fish is treated as pareve but is not eaten on the same plate as meat, and cooked pareve dishes are best when they are bishul yisroel. Where a kitchen meets that standard, we note it.
Note that kosher fish must have both fins and scales, which rules out shellfish, eel, and catfish. Every restaurant below shows its certifying agency so you know exactly what you are eating.
