Did it stink up your house? I won't blacken fish on the back porch where I grill because of the risk of the skillet falling off and starting a fire. So I always do it on the carport. One time I asked my wife to move her car before I cooked and she barely got it off the concrete. The result was that the smoke got into the car and left a fish odor that we could not get out. It still smelled when we traded it.
