I suppose this more relates to fish/crustaceasn. Compared to other land based creatures? Is it related to them evolving in the ocean. Do mammalian based sea creatures smell as bad?
In: Biology
Is it more smelly, or is it just an unfamiliar smell? Maybe you are nose blind to the smell of land creatures because you are one and you live on land (I assume!). If you think about it, cows are pretty stinky and some of that is in their meat as well. Wild animals have a stronger “gamy” smell/taste.
Anyway there are probably some great explanations of the chemistry and biology of what creates the fishy smell. But I wouldn’t take it as fact that fish are more smelly than other creatures.
