Why Does My Salmon Taste Fishy?
Salmon can sometimes taste fishy due to high levels of trimethylamine oxide (TMAO) in the fish. When TMAO breaks down, it produces trimethylamine (TMA), which can cause a fishy odor and flavor. Other factors that can contribute to a fishy taste in salmon include poor storage conditions, exposure to high temperatures, and a fish that is not fresh. Proper handling and storage of fish can help reduce the fishy taste and odor.
