Why does fish smell linger after cooking?

Asked: Tommy D, Last Updated:

The real culprit is fried or sautéed fish. So when possible, instead poach your fish (in seasoned water or fish or even chicken stock) or else oven-roast or bake it. If you can't resist sautéing your fish, remember that the lingering smell is from the oils spattering on your walls and other surfaces.
