A brain spike is seen as more humane than decapitation for larger animals like cattle, I imagine the same applies for fish.

And given that this method provably results in less trauma byproducts than traditional methods, there is strong evidence that this is a more humane method.

I think the modern western practice owes more to what is most convenient in industrial setting than most considerate to the last moment of consciousness or spirit. fwiw I would personally go with hypoxia over deep brain trauma, of course also hoping it matters little whatever else may or may not be in store.
