The Grand Nudger Wrote:Fish do feel pain, which is why they're anesthetized and/or stunned (among other things) before the kill in operations with an ethical focus.I think the scientific consensus is that they don't. And the arguments for that are fairly easy to understand:

Also, fish do not have the neuroanatomy necessary to feel pain: they have little or no type-C neurofibres, which are necessary to feel pain (we know that because people with congenital insensitivity to pain have fewer type-C neurofibres), not to mention the brain structures.If fish can suffer (be it only physical pain), then the right thing to do would be to stop eating them.
