When cooking fish, it is not advisable to add the ginger to the pot together with the fish.

Dad's Fish Fillet

Some people like to put ginger in the pan with the fish when cooking, believing that it allows the flavor to penetrate and also removes the fishy smell.

However, this is not the case, because adding ginger early on will cause the proteins in the fish's exudate to hinder ginger's deodorizing effect.

The best method is to first cook the fish in the pan for a while, and then add the ginger after the proteins have coagulated.
