Removing fish smell from hands

[sneak_e_pete]

Gotta admit...fish smell on my hands grosses me out...especially when using minnows....to the point I cant eat anything with my hands.

 

Any tricks to remove the smell? Thanks in advance.

I keep one of those stainless steel things shaped like a bar of soap in my boat. Just rub it all over your damp hands. It makes a difference. I have one in the kitchen too and it works great on odours like onion. I wouldn't say it's 100%, but it's worth a try.

There use to be a puck on the market for this. Just rub your hands with it like a bar of soap. The name of it escapes me.

Some have even used the kitchen tap at home when done cleaning their catch.

 

As for me,I just use a towel.

I use that stainless steel bar of soap looking thing..LOL It actually works really well..

Stainless steel bar works well, I keep one in the boat. If you are trying to get the smell off your hands once home just scrub the bathroom sink with a cream cleanser like Vim and the fish smell is all but gone

A bit of lemon juice in a bottle of hand sanitizer should have you fishing and eating in no time.

Dollarama sells the stainless pucks for taking odors off your hands. If you can't find one there don't pay 10 bucks for a Berkley one at a fishing store, just nick an old stainless spoon from the kitchen had throw it in your tackle will do the exact same thing. Although the missus might squawk about the spoon LOL.

 

If you stream fishing in better weather just grab a hand full of wild clover and rub your hands with that then rinse in in the creek. Although I would be more worried about the smell from some rivers than a little minnow juice on my hands though.

I use hand sanitizer if I have it but it doesn't bother me even when I smoke lol

Ketchup... works for whitefish both on it to eat and to get rid of the Cucumber smell from filleting

Try washing your hands with shaving cream , works for me !

I learned long ago to keep my hands as far from my nose as possible.

Personally I found fried chicken removes anything from your hands. No matter what it is grease, oil, ink no problem 2 pieces and clean as a whistle.

When the fried chicken is 'finger licking good' you might just 'lick' off the other items on your hands...

I use the stainless bar too most of the time to answer the OP question.

Ha !

Try having 2 months worth of roe goo attached to your hands. eventually you just end up giving up on trying to get rid of the smell and just live with it.

I've posted this in the past and found it to be effective just like Freshtrack mentioned

I heard that pink ones work best.
