In case you were wondering
Pharyngula::How to euthanize a fish
Another question I get is, "Fish can't feel pain, right?" It's usually phrased exactly that way, too—they aren't looking for an accurate answer, they're looking for a reassurance that casual brutality towards cold and slimy creatures is acceptable. The actual answer, though, is "Of course they can feel pain, you clueless boob! Mind if I put this barbed hook through your lip?"
I just don't know anymore. Some studies say that fish can't feel pain, some say they can.
