Check out some recipe books and see if you can make any meals you like and then ease yourself into it. That's how I started. I started with this one and it has a lot of good recipes.

Check them out at your library and just pick a few to test. I've also found a few fake meat products that I never thought I would have liked. Quorn makes some good meatless alternatives like chikn nuggets. There's also Beyond Burger which is shockingly meaty.
One of my favorite books from when I was young is called Rascal. It’s a (true) story of a kid in the early 1900s who had a pet raccoon. I highly recommend it.

Here's the textbook used in my Comparative Animal Behavior class. I couldn't find it for free online, but I bet you could find a PDF of the first edition somewhere, like on libgen.
You're thinking of the bluefins. They are the large apex predators, which is why they are also the highest in mercury -- they are accumulators. But a single bluefin fetches up to $10K and, today, are mostly bought by Japanese for sushi restaurants back home. The tuna you buy in cans at Safeway are smaller, more prevalent species (read: not as environmentally significant).

For pretty much every animal we eat, there are examples like this. Maybe not a task just like this, but you get the point. We have historically and constantly underestimated the intelligence and resourcefulness of most non-human animals. Even "dumb" animals like chickens and fish perform impressive behaviors. E.g., BBC article on chickens and check out this book by an animal behaviorist about fish.
And at any rate, whether they are "smart" or not doesn't affect their ability to suffer or their desire/capacity to not suffer. I think what /u/jeegte12 was trying to say was not really about a false dichotomy like killing a dumb person versus a smart person, but rather that we should avoid killing people regardless of their intelligence-- because even a dumb person wants to live and can feel pain and suffering.
