But while wandering in the Vancouver Aquarium, I came across this guy.
This is a vermillion rockfish. And while I don't know this specific fish's age, vermillion rockfish can live to be up to 60 years old.
When you go to a seafood place and see "rock cod" on the menu, this is what you're eating.
Is it me, or is the idea of consuming a lifeform that might have had 60 years of life and experience way disturbing?

I think some people carry on thinking fish don't suffer when they are captured. I beg to differ. They suffocate. I'd call that suffering.
More and more the idea of becoming vegan sounds quite appealing. Especially to my conscious. Though I'm still a bit weak in my resistance.
