What are the welfare implications of this? Fish have a notoriously bad time - not stunned like other farmed animals, and usually crushed to death by other fish or left to suffocate for hours. Flash freezing sounds marginally less cruel I suppose.

One of the prerequisites of flash freezing is that the fish are bled before hand - they are long dead by the time they get processed.
