Commentary for Avodah Zarah 68:3
תני אבימי בריה דר' אבהו מורייס אומן מותר הוא תני לה והוא א"ל פעם ראשון ושני מותר שלישי אסור מ"ט פעם ראשון ושני דנפיש שומנייהו לא צריך למירמי בהו חמרא מכאן ואילך רמו בהו חמרא
Avimi the son of R. Abbahu taught that murias made by an expert is permitted. He taught it and he explained it: the first and second [extracts] from this fish are permitted, but the third is forbidden. What is the reason? For the first and second [extracts] there is a lot of fat and he does not need to put in wine. From this point and onward, he puts in wine.
Daf Shevui to Avodah Zarah
The murias of an expert is the murias produced from the first and second extracts of the fish. By the third time, there is not much fat left in the fish, and in order to make it taste good, he has to put in wine. That’s why it is prohibited.
