How smart are fish ?

Nothing new about that. People have been doing that for
many years on the farm.

Fish reaction to food is the first kind: they do not have to learn to
eat.
Fish reacting to the fridge opening or seeing a person next to the tank
is the second kind - the same as the one Pavlov dogs developed an
salivation reflex for the sound of the bell. Do more reading here

People do that, hence the phrase "mouth watering".

The point was that the dog reflex was the result of the BELL ringing.
Not the result of seeing, smelling or eating the food...

So now compare this to your fish recognising the fridge opening.
