Doesn't seem normal and could be a sign of infection or some other underlying condition. Best to get it checked up and rectified. All the best !

I would go to see your doctor. Here is some information. medicinenet.com/fish_odor_s...

Quit using soap so that friendly bacteria can reestablish a healthy balance. Plain water once per day is sufficient.

I had the same problem, nothing would help. I tried everything: cleansing, probiotics, antibiotics, keto, enemas, veganism, fermented foods, ozone insufflation, fasting, green juices etc. etc. Nothing worked, I finally gave in & just got circumcised; still healing.

The bacteria love being under the foreskin, you should probably consider circumcision..

I had the same experience. After my circ I never have that moist skin and odor anymore

it's perfectly normal.

and it's different from man to man.

the strength of the smell ranged from mild musky to strong fishy smell.

mine was fishy smell and after wash without soap it would still smell fishy, even with soap it only lasted for half hour.

so, no worry. it's part of nature.

Maybe your foreskin is too long and keeps the glans closed, the best solution is circumcision. I had the same problem.

I had that same problem which caused a lot of embarrassment especially when whipping out my willy to pee in public. Now, that I’m circumcised, I haven’t had any smell down there. So glad I got rid of that smell!

Good luck!
