I've heard fish farms would stun them with carbonated water and then bleed them dead. If you were to pour the fish into a tote filled with water and dry ice they'd be effectively dead; slip a knife/finger in and slash the gills and you'd have a nice clean pure white fish without the bruising or effort involved in bonking.
I need all fish bonked. I am then confident they are dead. Occasionally I get people trying to smuggle some live ones out in coolers...they don't get far.

The meat seems great without the carbonation :-)
