I understand when people speak about the ethical problems with eating meat, but I think they do not apply to fish.

    I was referring to the creatures that are commonly thought of when you hear “fish;” salmon, halibut, tuna etc

      So you’re only addressing the dumb point… despite some of these not being considered intelligent, they still have central nervous systems and therefore feel pain. That’s a very basic ethical concern. Why is intelligence the only concern? Should we eat all the dumber humans?

      Bycatch is also an issue in this point because innocent and more intelligent creatures like dolphin and octopus will be caught, killed and not even eaten.
