Fish odour

[jmck66]

I've just cooked fish and my house is going to stink !! Anyone know the best way to eliminate the smell? Thanks in advance

Oust?!

Erm or maybe cancel the smell out by cooking some bread or cake for example, aside from that just open all the doors and windows for a while!

Use fresh fish.

Pour about a tablespoonful of ordinary vinegar into a saucer and leave it on a worktop. It is, of course, best to do this when you start the cooking process rather than after it has happened.

I like to put a little pan of water with some cheap cinnamon sprinkled in it on the stove to heat while I cook - it smells stronger than fish OR brussel sprouts.

cook a curry

A 'Glade' / Ambi pur candle always neutralises cooking smells, jmck...always buy the strong smelling ones, (have a sniff in the shop) citrus or cherry are two that I have used - light before you start cooking...

If cooking fish in a microwave...slices of lemon in a bowl of water afterwards (10 minutes on simmer mode) will eliminate the odour...

Open the windows?

As a follow on from Quizmonster, I find the vinegar smells if just left out. Put into small bowl, cover with cling film and peirce lid serveral times. But yes, ditto, works better before cooking!

Burn candles at the same time as cooking the fish
