Here is a cool website. Shows you where to spike fish for swift and humane dispatch.
This of course is not only good for the fish but also great for eating quality as well.

Thanks TARFish for sharing

The eating qualities of all species of squid can be improved if they are killed immediately by iki jime or cervical dislocation (breaking the neck) before placing them in an ice slurry.
