Is there anything about this argument that is unique to fish? That is, you could almost as reasonably ask, “What cattle ranching practices would make you feel comfortable with eating beef?”
I myself am a pescatarian, largely because of an earlier belief that fish don’t feel pain, from https://slatestarcodex.com/2019/12/11/acc-is-eating-meat-a-net-harm/
I no longer hold this belief as strongly, but cutting fish entirely from my diet would feel much more costly in terms of health and taste variety...
Nope, nothing unique to fish! I think it’s also useful to think about this for other decisions, such as not eating beef, or not buying clothes made with child labor. I’m just most interested in fish specifically, because I’ve had a hard time finding as much discussion on fish farming vs other types of meat
