I left it on top of the canopy then walking by felt the smell, reached on top and there it was. I have a canopy that flips the front and left it way on the back...
Whenever I leave the food under the hood to unfreeze, leave the hood partly open so I remember to check on my way out

Never. I always remember to leave it there.

I left 2 cubes out on top of 2 tanks at home and they were PE mysis cubes that melted and was extra cripsy! ;D

 

[A_Lee]

Too many times

 

[Raddogz]

About a half dozen times

I left a bag of PE mysis in my car. It melted and liquid come out if it and into my carpet. That was over a month ago. I still smell the dead fish smell in my car every day. The sucky part is, i have to remove my car seat to steam clean the carpet. But the good part is, i always have a good excuse not to drive during lunch break.

Ed - try oxy-clean to go over the stain. If you have Folex (you can find at Bed, Bath & Beyond or even Home Depot) that may help with the stain itself. I kinda remember you have a dog so I assume you have Nature's Miracle. If so that would help with neutralizing some of the odors in where the shrimp juice leaked in.

Fwiw - I would even try a bag of carbon to help with the smell.

I left bag of cyclopeeze on top of the freezer. Then I would only find out when it start to smell stinky.
