I made the mistake of thawing a plateful of frozen squid[1] uncovered
in the refrigerator a few days ago and now the inside smells of fish.
Apparently strongly enough that my wife's coworkers noticed the smell
on the Tupperware containers she brought in with her lunch.

So, I've Googled the 'net and absorbed the "wisdom" contained
therein. Seems like mostly old wives' tales: "I put FOO in my fridge
to absorb the odors and in a week they were gone!" (Gee, ya think a
week's worth of opening the doors several times a day might have
something to do with it?)

Anyway, I'm looking for your opinion. Minimal effort solution
preferred, of course. My current plan: Heat a plateful of charcoal
briquettes in the oven to dry them out thoroughly (and drive out any
aromatics they might have collected while sitting in the garage), then
put the plate in the fridge. In a week, I hope the odor will be
gone! :-)

except my version is not as greasy and uses a variety of peppers to
limit the heat and add more color. Plus some fried onion rings. Over
buttered fettucini. Mmmmm.
