To be fair, fish brains are much further removed than other mammals.
Mammals have memories and can love. They have opinions and personalities.
The distinction that I would better is how up in arms some people get at the idea of eating dogs or cats but other mammals are perfectly fine.
Fish definitely have memories. They definitely learn who feeds them. Ask any observant aquarium owner.
Fish usually have opinions and personalities. Not sure about love, though.
It's ok to eat fish cause they don't have any feelings
