“Even the people who make their living off the seafood-rich waters of Louisiana’s St. Bernard Parish have a hard time swallowing the government’s assurances that fish harvested in the shallow, muddy waters just offshore must be safe to eat because they don’t smell too bad.”
“I wouldn’t feed it to you or my family. I’m afraid someone’s going to get sick.”

Do you honestly think that seafood is going to be sold based ONLY on a “smell test”. If you do then you’re stupider than I thought. Any “smell test” will be IN ADDITION TO analysis done by instrumentation. But it is a fact that the nose is, in many cases, much more sensitive than analysis instrumentation, so people might reject perfectly safe seafood because of an “off odor”.
