And I don’t think there will be a smell since we’ve kept the box of dead fish in our house for about a year and no smells whatsoever, even when you open the box.
I don't know if I'm just desensitised to this kind of thing from years on fish forums. I've known people keep their dead pets in the freezer until they can bury them properly, others have kept mummified fish that have jumped out of the tank and dried out, I've even known people to keep the more interesting fish in formaldehyde. Each to their own...
If you want to know a really cool method that museums use to study dead fish though this Youtube vid is for you.

Have you asked your friends if they agree? Neighbours
Yup we’ve had parties and no one smelt a thing. One of my parents friend that took care of our aquarium while we were on holiday also had access to the “box” and couldn’t smell anything. Even with the tissue unfolded and fish revealed, there were still no smells.

Cremation is probably your best option when it comes to fish. My wife can give you some tips based on how she cooks our dinner if you like
You do realise what you'll be getting for dinner, for the foreseeable future don't you? I've laughed out loud at this thread - brilliant! We just used to flush ours down the bog. We also buried them in the garden along with any other dead pets. I hope the new owners haven't discovered any corpses. We did buy one that turned out to be a bit of a carnivore and ate all the lovely little fish we had in the tank with it. It jumped out one day and we didn't see until it was too late. Served the b***er right.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I’ve come to this thread a bit late coz we’ve been away ... but I’m marvelling at how flushing a dead fish down the loo can be more disrespectful to it than keeping it confined in an aquarium in your living room when it’s alive 🤔. ... and I have no problem with keeping small fish in a suitable aquarium 🐠 ... but look at it logically 🙃 😉

"Beginner non-toxic small outdoor plant to bury dead fish in?"
Yes, I think Marc wins this year's random and curious and generally 'out there' thread title of the year award. You should investigate setting up a company - you could corner the niche market.
Made a good laugh, I think it may tie for first place with someone who’s grown veg in dried grass and dead leaves and wonders why they’re bolted.
