Cooking Fish-How do I avoid a smelly house...?  email this discussion to a friend?

bcgirljnb66 (21)   ranked 3,215 out of 8,637 in cooking 6 years ago

I love cooking and eating fish but am always leary of cooking it(when it's not BBQ season) inside my house in fear of having the fishy smell remain long after eating it.

I have tried it in the oven but just can't seem to get the timing right-too dry or not flavourful enough.

Any suggestions?

Hi, use lemon in to clean you sink and disposal after washing your dishes. Light a few sented candles and cook away.

i know what you mean about the fishy smell.i always turn on my fan above the stove.or crack open a window.there not to much you can do about the smell.try wrapping your fish in foil before putting it in the oven to keep it moist

first you have to clean the fish really well - remove the innards, scales and anything mucoid. then rub lemon juice all over the fish and let it stand for 15min. after that, cook the fish the way you want. as for the dishes and other you used, wash it and soap with a lemon-based liquid soap. spray a lemon scent air freshener all over the house. trust me, lemon is the secret =)

You will only get a fishy smell while cooking fish if it is not fresh. You should buy fresh fish. The signs that fish is fresh is when eyes are clear, the scales are complete, the gills are red and it smells is like ocean air. Now before cooking it, clean the fish and remove the innards and all traces of blood in stomach and head. clean it with salt as this will remove the fishy smell. light a candle and cook your fish.

I am not sure what is the best thing to tell you but I usually wash my fish with vinegar and I always use lime juice when cooking it. They both help to take away the smell.
