Smelly fishy hands

[CATCH AND EAT]

My wife taught me something about fishing this past weekend that I had never heard. I was complaining about the soap at the kitchen counter not removing the fish smell from my hands. :hoboy: Looking at me as if I were Forrest Gump she handed me a stainless steel spoon. :whazzup: Feeling really silly I asked what is this for? She said "wash your hands under the warm water. Rubbing the stainless steel spoon over your hands will remove the fish smell". :smile: I thought I heard her say "dummy" under her breath but that was probably just my ears playing tricks on me.

So I did as she commanded and what do you know. She was RIGHT!!!! :shocked: It works!!! Now my wife is sure to tell her friends she taught me something relating to fishing. What a great gal.

BTW, she says you can even by stainless steel blocks to used at the sink for removing those undesireable smells. But, Lemon Joy is still cheaper. :cheers:

The stainless steel trick also works for onion and garlic smells. Just rub a few times and the smell is gone!! :smile:

Guys the cutrus will remove the smell, Wash your hands and then use a little lemon juice and rub it around, then wash again and it removes it the best I have ever had.

OK - so curious fishbrains just have to enquire. Why would SS remove fish odors? Not saying it doesn't work but sure wondering why it would? If there's a reaction going on (the lemon trick is the acid plus the cover up in the smell- good combo.) I sure couldn't tell you why SS would react with fish stink though! :whazzup: :shocked: :grin: graemlins/stupid.gif :shrug: graemlins/dork.gif

Just wait til you're as old as me...your awareness of a fishy smell goes away and so it isn't a problem for YOU anymore...it's only a problem for others

I don't know why it works, but it does. They sell ss things in the Smoky Mountain Knifeworks catalogs. :wink:

The stainless works! Gave my 85 year old mother a bar of it a couple years ago and she still marvels at it's effectiveness. :smile:

Guess we need a metalurgist Mel to give ya the answer to your question. I am not sure either as to why it works and I work with metal all the time.

I just thought it was a cool idea.
