I wonder if a diet consisting primarily of farmed bivalves would be the most ethical, ignoring cost. I still think they’re very unlikely to be sentient, and much less likely to be sentient than the insects routinely killed with pesticides.
This could depend substantially on the effects on wild animals and your beliefs about the welfare of wild animals. What are the effects of agriculture on the populations of insects, for example, and how would insects live and die otherwise?
