In Avodah Digest V26#83, RZS responded to RAM:
>> Mayim Acharonim must be done with a reviis of water <<
> No, it doesn't.   There is no minimum shiur.  And al pi sod it should
be done with as little water as possible, because it is the "chelek
adam rasha". <
Nor need it be done w/ mayim (see BY&SA 181:9).

Mei'inyan l'inyan, a Q for those who wash MA because, after all, chamira
sakanta mei'isura: do you also wash between eating basar and eating dagim
(see Tur 173 and BY&SA 173:2), and if not, why not?  (Yes, you could note
MA 173:1, but then you have to note MA 181:1's "d'[MA] einah chovah
kal-kach" -- MA is consistent ;-).)  Thanks.

All the best from
