A person was eating a piece of fish and then wanted a drink, would a new bracha be required on the drink? Is it assumed that he had in mind to have a drink?
Thank You?
Answer:
If a person is eating a meal, where it is normal to drink, a new beracha is not required for the water, and it is assumed that the beracha on the fish includes all items regularly served during a meal whose blessing is shehakol.
However, if a person eats a piece of fish outside the framework of a meal, and then wants a drink, a new beracha is required.
