From my understanding, i believe there is a procedure/ ritual of sorts throughout the slaughter of an animal for Muslim consumption. I was wondering, say a couple of Muslim friends go fishing just to catch a few for dinner, are certain steps taken from the time a fish is caught to the time it's on the dinner plate?

I kind of understand the Halal/ Haram thing but was wondering more along the lines of when each fish is taken from the water? All kept living until the time of cleaning? Just curious really.
 
Allah has made the Oceans and earth. He knows availability of
food could be a problem while traveling in the sea. So He has
exempted proper slaughter of fish. As you said, it dies as quickly
once it is removed from water. So as a facility it need not be
properly slaughtered. Being a practical religion, Islam also
reduces prayers to half while on a journey.

Those are practiced by a minority deviated cult not the mainstream islam who has no ritual or procedure for seafoods.

Majority of Muslims 90% of 1.8 billion Muslims are known as Sunni Muslim.
 
All fish are Halal, there is no Halal slaughter for them. I am free to eat all kinds of fish bought from any source. Its not complicated at all. I can buy a pack of Salmon from Tesco's it does not need to have gone through the Halal process and meat does.
When we cook and before we eat we say Bismillah on everything including fish.
