Why fish smell?
  • 1 answers

Sunanda Singh 7 years, 6 months ago

Well, it's because fish tissue contain an odorless chemical known as trimethylamine oxide. Once the fish is killed and the fish's tissues are exposed to air, the bacteria in the fish's body break down this chemical into two new chemicals that are derivatives of ammonia, and therefore smell pretty bad.
