Is it ok to braai on the same coals as your sinful meat?

I use the same fire yes, he doesn't seem to have a problem with it.

You gotto keep all the foods sorts separate and the meat has to come form a halal butcher etc. lots of rules involved.

Halaal butcher isn't to difficult to find, and I just had braais with him before so quite easy to keep the meat seperate.

Simmer over the coals for 30 – 45 minutes, or until the fish is tender.

That would take about 5 minutes. 30-45 minutes would require you cooking an entire fish in the potjie - whole. In pieces, it would dry out the fish and make it mushy. Most people think that cooking in liquid will keep meat moist, but this is a complete fallacy. Protein denaturing squeezes out liquids in meat regardless of what it is purged in. It also results in major changes to the composition of the flesh. Fish especially. Only scallops and squid/calamari benefit from a long cook, but then again you have issues as squid, for example, expels bitter compounds during this process, which is why most squid stews need to be over-salted to compemsate, or risk being somewhat bland and bitter...

Pork being not eaten by Muslim and Jews are just a pratical consideration that has found it's way into their religions.

Before anyone knew of micro organisms and the health issues connected with eating pork they included it into their doctrine to safeguard themselves ... because I suspect they only knew of the problem with pork through trial and error.

Thesedays pork isn't as much an issue as it was in historic times so their religion can just as well disregard pork as a taboo.

Ignorance is bliss guy. You say all of that because you suspect the below ?

they only knew of the problem with pork through trial and error.

The only reason pork wasn't originally eaten and shunned is because you can't herd pigs, that's how it all started

Ask the muslim friend where you can buy the meat.
