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

My entire ethical framework for what animals are ok to eat is wether or not it's cute.

I say eat them.

Could you envision a fish so cute you would feel it is unethical to consume it?

I started imagining what it would look like and it was just a baby seal

What attributes of the seal differentiate it from a fish that makes it to cute to snack upon?

It looks like a sea puppy

Not fish, but absolutely adorable and intelligent and unethical to eat.
