Could anyone answer this. We recently sampled cod (Gadus morhua) that to all intents displayed the characteristics of fish at a Torry score of 8.0 (firm, retaining some bluish-whiter translucency), yet the cooked product smelled and tasted strongly of ammonia, normally associated with a Torry score of 4.

It is an anomaly we have not come across before and wondered if anyone else had.
