I find washing your hands with toothpaste works great and it easy to take with you when your fishing.

Hello well my first thought was Lemon Juice but I see that is on here a bunch..My dad owns a bait and tackle shop and has a minnow bucket company..So I remember him saying he makes a paste with Baking Soda to remove fish smell from lots of stuff so it may work on your hands also..They say to use it in refrigerators for smells.May want to try it..Hope it works for you..

The Chinese and Japanese have a small plate of metal that, when you rub your hands under tap water, it ionizes the substances that cause odor (fish, garlic, onion, etc.) and it becomes soluble in water and goes to the drain. You can buy it in Chinese or Japanese stores. It really works.

The best way to remove any strong odor is regular table salt. Put it on your hands, then wash with water like soap.

Lemon juice. Also, some high-end kitchen stores have "bars of soap" made of metal. These things get rid of odors on your hands. You run it under water and rub your hands on it, like soap.

Wash with onions.
Just kidding! Try washing with Coke. If it can clean your carburetor, surely it can get fish off your hands.

straight lemon juice -- make sure you don't have any nicks or cuts, 'cause it will sting if you do.
+I asked a guy friend and he said that he uses really cheap imitation vanilla flavoring. And I have to say -- I have never smelled fish on him. :)

I would have to say maybe you should use plastic/poly gloves with no powder. that way you can handle the fish and no smell will be left on you!
