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

          That’s not really how ethical problems work. They are supposed to define why we should or shouldn’t do something. Even saying “nah dawg, fish tasty” would be more reasoning than you’ve provided.

            You’ve not provided any reasons sufficient for me to consider eating fish or meat unethical. The issues you mentioned are ones I consider morally irrelevant to the ethical nature of eating these animals, and so I reject the claim that it is unethical.

            That is precisely how ethics works.

              So, you consider it ethical to bycatch, fish species to extinction, destroy marine environments and pollute the ocean freely despite there being ample alternatives to receive the nutrients you can get from fish? Please explain how these are irrelevant. Unless you personally catch each of your fish?

                  Thanks again for the thorough explanation of why you believe all of these related ethical issues are not related.

                    You’re the one claiming they are, and you’ve failed to provide any support. The burden of proof is on you to show that it is unethical. A claim which is asserted without support can be dismissed just as easily.
