Is it normal to smell like fish after eating fish?

Hmm.Worth a closer look

Fishy breath or hands after eating fish can happen, but your sweat or urine shouldn’t regularly smell strongly fishy. If that keeps happening, it’s worth getting checked.

If the smell is on your breath or hands, that’s not surprising—fish can linger, especially if you’ve been handling it or eating a particularly pungent meal. Washing your hands and brushing your teeth may help.

A strong fishy smell coming from your sweat or urine isn’t a usual after-effect of eating fish. If it happens repeatedly or sticks around, check in with a healthcare professional; there are uncommon causes they can look into.
