In the orthodox Jewish circles, there is talk about whether or not you can serve fish with a meat on the same plate. I say you really should not but it wont defy the trust God has in you to eat your meal. That said, here is my take:
Honestly, I must say I never gave it too much thought in the past, but putting a piece of fish on a plate with a steak or beef item is like dancing on your bathroom sink. You can do it and its not going to be a bad thing, but they dont swim together in life so let them exist separately. That said, you can eat a meal with both just keep them on separate serving trays and plates. Thats my own feeling. And this is just the way I feel. But the ChaBaD rabbi in my synagogue one day ran around to all the tables to make sure that no persons kept their fish on the same plate as a piece of meat we were served. I did not doubt that it was a consideration, but I never realized if it was really a priority or just really over kill and silly foolish superstition. Its not. I can not quote the laws but I know what is what. Fish and Chicken is not a big problem but Fish and Lamb is like dancing on your toilet lid. I never want to try that really. But you still wont fall in the toilet.
Fish and Chicken on the same plate is like taking a shower with marbles on the bottom of the shower stall. It wont be a trouble but dont slip on one and fall and hurt your soul. Thanks!

They don't swim together in life. One is a water animal and the other a land animal. So spiritually thinking, I say that they actually compete with eachother in the magical mystical realm of the mind as to which one is to be eaten first. So thats why we dont do it. It does not destroy your mysticism, but you wont know which comes first. To put lamb and beef or chicken together on the same plate does not make you choose between a water creature and a land creature. So if you can, separate these items.
