These products are expensive and oftentimes do not work any better than these simple old fashioned tips to remove fish odor. The next time you prepare fish keep these in mind.

1. Wash your hands with a mild dish detergent and sugar. Pour some mild dish detergent into the palm of your hand and add 1 to 2 tablespoons of plain sugar. Scrub your hands well for 2 to 3 minutes and rinse. This will remove fish odors and help to exfoliate the dry skin on your hands at the same time.
