    Preparing

    Use cold water on your hands to avoid them smelling

    Submitted by Mummysknee

    When handling seafood, before you start, wash your hands in hot soapy water. Then after that only use cold water. The reason for this is that if you use hot water it opens your pores and the seafood juices go in and it will make your hands smell. If you use cold water this doesn’t happen. When you are finished rub hands with half a cut lemon to get rid of odours.

    Filleting Fish

    Submitted by Seafish

    Lots of pre-packed fish is filleted already, but if you want to buy a whole fish, just ask your fishmonger – or at the supermarket fish counter – and they’ll fillet it for you.

    Eliminating odours

    To get rid of any seafood smells, just cut a lemon in half and rub it over your hands, plus over any knives and chopping boards you’ve been using.
