General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Fish smelling fishy is fine to eat.

It is when it starts to smell of ammonia, it has really gone off!

Even then, White fish probably will not make you sick, but it will taste really foul. (It's good for the garden though!)

Don't know about other species, but cod that has not been frozen (provided it is cooked the day it is landed) has flavours which are completely absent from that which has been frozen.

I do accept that frozen was probably fresher at time of freezing than what is sold as fresh fish, but I would completely reject, at least as far as cod is concerned, that its flavour is not impaired.

I would say try for yourself, and compare, but getting the stuff is now quite an ordeal.
