Regarding the lobster, if you do it right the lobster dies within seconds of hitting the water. You need to put him into the water head first, and with a little bit of force. If you gingerly try to put him in tail first, he will die a slower death.
As for fish, I would argue that suffocation is a much more humane way to kill them than amputation.
The biggest issues with sharks is that they are somewhat endangered, and finning kills the shark while only using a small percentage of the animal. So it is not only barbaric but also wastefull and selfish.
