Well - can you smell anything under water? I can't and I bet fish can't either. Taste is the important sense, so it is flavours and not scents that count. Agree? Disagree?

you're trying to attribute human senses to a fish - they "smell" and "taste" in completely different ways to us.
remember we live in a different medium to fish, if air was "thicker" we would smell and taste differently. probably like chicken
I can't smell underwater because I didn't evolve to live underwater. Smell and taste are interdependent in humans and I suspect the same can be said for many other animals including fish. Fish don't 'smell' things in the same way we are familiar with but I think they still detect scent trails in the water.
fish can detect odours in the water using their olfactory (is that spelt correctly ?) system wether its smelling as we understand it i dont know.
