So, killing a fish to eat it....

[shawarma]

Regardless of how often i accept that we have to do this, i still cringe a little when describing or thinking about it.

Two ways that i've seen people do this are the following:
- there's a fish bat you can buy, or make to hit the fish on the head which will pretty much end sufferring instantly. You're not smashing it like a baseball.. they're delicate creatures and just require enough force to knock them out. You're not taking heads off with it.
- I also saw a suggestion one time that if you had a thin, sharp knife, you can slide this into the center of the head and it'll instantly kill the fish as well.

I haven't tried either of those to be honest with you so i'll watch this thread to see how others handle these situations.
