Regardless of whether you have cooked one fish or a thousand, you have caught and cleaned a boatload of fish or just one - you are bound to be walking around for days smelling like an old fish.

So just how do you remove that awful smell from your hands?

Easy peasy! Simply splash a little milk onto the affected area, rub in and leave for a minute or two before washing your hands normally. Shazam! No more fish smell.

Likewise, you can clean up your knfe, cutting board and other affected kitchen tools to ensure that the smell and taste are not transferred to other dishes.

Reducing The Fishy Taste

There are many people who, whilst loving fish, can not stand the fishy taste - so how do we cater to them?

Pour some milk into a plate and place the fish in it for a minute or so per side, pat dry with a paper towel and cook as required. No more fishy taste.
