it's not necessarily ketosis
are you running on very few carbs with this diet?
Ive done over 2 months of keto and ate plenty of tuna/salmon/halibut and never once smelled fish in my piss, don't make an earnest effort to smell my piss either, but I do use ketostix and test the urine often, never had a waft of fish from the piss...perhaps its a placebo effect or the whole house just stinks of fish after you cook it, like alwaysEat Clean Snatch & Jerk

trust me, if your body is cranking through fat and producing more ketones than it can utilize for energy, you'll be able to smell it quite easily when you piss... it's foul, but a good signal.
And it can happen regardless of carb intake because it's related to how much fat your body is breaking down.
