Well, darling, that stench of ammonia coming off your fish after it's been frozen and cooked is due to a little thing called protein breakdown. When fish is frozen, the proteins break down into compounds that release that lovely ammonia smell when heated up. So, next time you're hit with that odor, just remember it's nature's way of reminding you that fish wasn't meant to be frozen and cooked.
