Learn2 Remove Fishy Smells (continued)
Step 2: Move on to the utensils and counters

Fish will leave a smell on any surface with which it has made contact, especially rubber or plastic. Hence, use metal or glass bowls whenever possible.
  • If you do use a plastic bowl, and soapy water and a vinegar rinse doesn't do the trick, try this: dampen some newsprint, place it inside the bowl, cover it tightly and put it into the freezer for a few days. The newsprint should absorb the smell nicely.

  • Clean the counters, cutting board and utensils with soapy water. Remember the lemon you used for your hands? Use it again--rub it over the cutting board and counters to get them smelling fresh again.

  • If you're cooking with canned fish like tuna, salmon or the dreaded sardine, be sure to wash out the tins and rinse them with vinegar before you put them into the recycling bin. Otherwise your recycling bin will attact pests and generally smell unpleasant.

  • Sink therapy: Any unwanted liquids from the cans can be poured down the sink if you also add a handful of baking powder and some boiling water. This will act to freshen up the drain. Or if you have an interested cat, save the sink drain. Pour the fish over its food and make sure it's all been consumed. Then rinse out the cat's dish.
