Please note that STAR-K DOES NOT certify any of these items for use on Shabbos or Yom Tov.

March 9, 2021 from the Kof-K:
Unfortunately, due to a change in production methods in some companies in Chile involving citric acid (which is Kitniyos), the Kof-K can no longer make a blanket statement regarding fish for use on Pesach that is under their supervision.
Therefore, frozen fish under Kof-K supervision requires Passover certification on the packaging.
Exceptions: The following brands of frozen raw unseasoned Whiting and/or Salmon with regular Kof-K certification, that comes from Chile (not the USA or China), may be used on Pesach without special Passover supervision.
