If clean it well the clay smell will disappear. Take a wide pan put some salt and rub both sides of the fish to clean out any scales left. Cut open the belly side and clean inside. Then rinse in running water till the fish get clean.

It is a delicious fish. I do not bother the price to buy and enjoy it.

you can also use vinegar to clean the fish after cutting it to reduce smell.
