Why do fish recipes often include citrus juice, wine, or tomatoes?
Fish have a characteristic smell from trimethlyamine that is located in the fat of the fish. When fish degenerates, it begins to smell and bacteria contributes to releasing the "fish" odor. Adding acidic products (i.e. citrus, wine, tomatoes) over cooked fish reduces the odor by converting the unpleasant-smelling liquid trimethylamine into an odorless solid.
