Can fish shiver when they are cold like humans and other mammals?

no. they are cold blooded and do not regulate their own body temps. shiverring is a nervous mechanism that is used to create molecule stimulation and in some cases friction to heat a body up. fish do not contain this in their nervous system, therefore: fish do not shiver! lol

Fish do not shiver but I don't really think they have the need either. The water is a very stable system and (specially in the sea) it tends to maintain temperature. If it changes, they die.

Since you are somewhat educated by the term "survival of the fittest" then let me explain to you why human live the way we do. First off nature can only give so much to the human race existence. Nature gives us eyes, nose, arms, etc. Oh yeah did I mention a highly intelligent brain!! Since humans need to survive the fittest we need to excel beyond normal creatures in your case a snail. Thus, we develop rules and laws to live a better life than snails.
