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

It is unethical to kill fish. If one must eat fish, wait for it to be in a position like death where it won't get in the way of anything. Fish are no different from other animals.

I don't think they apply to most animals either, so yes.

If fish could eat you do you believe they would think it's unethical?

If you answer it's yes then don't eat fish.

Yes, it's ethical to eat fish. I'm against the industrial practices, but that doesnt have anything to do with people eating them.

There's no such thing as ethical consumption, so go away and eat whatever you want.
