Fish can not feel pain.

[shawarma]

At the end of the day for me, i choose to believe they do feel pain but it's not something i can relate to in the sense that, well, we honestly have no idea how to even measure what they go through. Different creatures have different coping mechanisms for a reason and i don't doubt one bit that fish have evolved to mitigate whatever pain was initially felt.

Respect the fish and their habitats and we'll all have a good time!
