Interesting topic, that has gone around before on here. I have not shopped at KTA in years due to the stink. I tried several times and could not take it. Smells very fishy. When something smells fishy it means that fish juices and seafood juices have gotten into things and not been cleaned out. Things are getting warm and care has not been taken in keeping things freshened up.
I was born into a commercial fishing family, raised around the docks and tenders where fish are processed, as well as crab, shrimp and clams. I was raised during the summers in a cabin with no running water, where we processed and canned our own fish during our down time for the commercial fishing. We hauled water from a stream and boiled it for use, yet in all of my years doing this, we never had that stinky odor.
Fresh seafood has a distinct ocean fresh smell to it, not a stinky smell, unless something is bad. But then again we cleaned everything all the time, it's amazing what a little arm muscle and vineger will do to fish slime and seafood juices, cleans them right up.
So when someone tries to tell me KTA is just fine and there is no smell, I take it with a grain of salt, as my family would never have tolerated that smell from our fishing site. And beleive me I love the smell of fresh fish caught right out of the ocean and all the other seafood as well. But I won't touch any stinky seafood, ever.
