Have you eaten a chicken meat that smells like fish and tastes like fish?
I have that experience. Almost every Iranian had this experience for about a year. Just after the Islamic revolution in Iran and the chaos that followed we noticed the chicken meat started to smell like fish and it got worse week by week. I do not mean it smelled like a good fish. it smelled like a bad fish. It got to the point that my family found a free grazing Turkey farm and we switched to Turkey for a while. the fish smell lasted for a year.
A few years later I found the reason behind that bad smell. When the Islamic revolution happened the poultry farms in Iran had a severe shortage of chicken feed basics like wheat and corn but a huge reservoir of powder fish meal so they were forced to feed their chicken mostly fish powder (around 80 percent I guess was fish powder).
I am curious to know about your possible similar experience with chicken meat .
