According to Jewish dietary laws, known as Kashrut, fish must have fins and scales to be considered kosher. Clownfish do not have scales, therefore they are not considered kosher. This is because clownfish are part of the Pomacentridae family, which lack scales on their bodies.

Clownfish, also called anemone fish, are a type of Amphiprioninae, of the family Pomacentridae. They are not included on any list of kosher or non-kosher fish. Because they have fins and ctenoid scales, they are presumablykosher. However, this answer should not be taken as a certification of kosher-status: a more knowledgeable source should be sought.
