  5. You just increased the quality of my life many-fold. I seek to eat sardines as a main food, especially in this pandemic era & Russia-China vs USA dispute era, where my usual frozen salmon has not been available at the store in a year or so. I actually dread grabbing the sardines to prepare, due to the odor I know I am about to endure with cooking/ eating. Wow. If this works, I will be eternally grateful. I can't wait to give it a try.

  6. Found this yesterday and it worked beautifully. We defrosted some haddock fillets and there was quite a strong fish smell, we placed the two fillets into a bowl and covered them with milk, left for 20mins and then patted them dry on kitchen roll. The strong fish smell was neutralised and the milk had not influenced the taste of the fillets. 100% success 👍

  28. Also note, make sure you're using whole milk; not fat free or 2% obviously. If you don't want to waste it, just pour it back into the carton and await the next victim to have their cereal.

  33. hmmmm soak it with lemon.. just a little. salmon is just a terrible fish for odors. try this only with salmon or a few others. Most of the fish out there are ok washed with some fresh tamarind juice. Milk is just too expensive to be used as a soaking agent. If milk is possible, then try with coconut milk or evaporated milk. its much cheaper.

  38. The biggest issue I have is that I grill some salmon at home, and the smell REMAINS in the house for a day or so, even after I opened all the windows and stuff. Will this method prevent (or significantly reduce) the smells from sticking in the house?
