How to Get Rid of the Smell of Fish After Cooking

Heat vinegar in water to remove a fish smell after cooking.

The joy of eating fish is usually offset by the lingering odor in the kitchen and throughout the house after cooking. Get rid of the smell of fish after cooking by heating vinegar in a pan of water.

Things You'll Need

• Vinegar

Instructions

1. Boil a small pan full of water. Turn off the flame and pour the water into a deep pan.

2. Place a bowl full of vinegar into the pan of hot water. The bowl of vinegar must sit higher than the pan.

3. Leave the bowl of vinegar in the water for at least one hour. The water will heat up the vinegar and help to dissipate the smell of the fish.

Tips & Warnings

• Do not heat up the vinegar directly over a flame. That will cause an overpowering sour stench.
