Yellowfin ahi has very faint wet dog smell when i smell it very closely. Is this just because i cut it out of the packaging? Its from a reputable market

1. It’s probably fine but trust your nose and gut and Ask yourself if the piece of fish is worth the food poisoning possibly

2. Give it a rinse, then check after drying. Being packaged in its own juices and plastic can do that if it’s not daily fresh. If it still has any sort of smell I’d trash it.

3. Just got food poising it was terrible, trust ur instinct

4. Fish looks like it has couple of issues:

   * the fish didn’t die quickly, the outer banding looks like thermal damage
   * the fish for above reason also wasn’t drained of its blood quickly
   * lactic acid buildup can result

   all of these factors lead to fast spoilage. Wet dog smell is pretty indicative of bacterial growth

5. If it smells like wet dog, it’ll taste like wet dog.

6. Take it back to the store bc this ain’t normal
