Why are seafood’s smells so strong and why are they so hard to wash off?
In: 450
There’s a material on some sea creatures that, when exposed to air, starts turning into a compound very similar to ammonia. So it’s pretty much the same process that makes pee smell worse as it waits.
It’s hard to wash off, because the smelly compound goes into your skin and doesn’t stay outside, so washing doesn’t get all of it.
