my cousin came back from holiday and brought me some fermented shark as joke/delicacy gift. It's rotting shark flesh steeped in ammonia, and smells and tastes like piss. Deciding I couldn't stomach it raw, I thought frying it would improve the flavour.

Big mistake. The ammonia steamed off the frying pan and soaked into the kitchen ceiling. The smell just spread everywhere. My kitchen currently smells like a nursing home, and I have the window open 24/7 in these freezing temps just to get rid of the smell.

I hate the smell of fish at the best of times, so my thoughts are with you...

You need one of those air freshener things they advertise on TV... get them in to prove their products work. Take them to small claims if it doesn't and use the money to replace the kitchen ceiling...?

now that's a scheme I can get behind
