Yeah I have no idea why but we had it really bad a couple years ago and it always happened when my girlfriend straightened her hair at this one outlet (pretty much the only time it got used). We eventually realized what it was coming from and the cover had a little brown spot from where it was starting to burn and the actual outlet was like crumbling on the inside. I don’t know how it was even still working and I have no doubt that it would’ve started an actual fire if we hadn’t found it.

Just FYI if you start smelling a strong fish odor then you better find out which outlet it is fast because that shit will burn your house down real quick.

Before the 60s there weren’t a lot of commercial options when it came to what plastics were available for consumer goods, like electrical outlets. One of the most common plastics used back then was Bakelite, which does release amines when it thermally decomposes. Amines like diethylamine or trimethylamine are what give fish their distinctive odor. So I guess an overheating plastic outlet cover could smell like fish. Those would be really old outlets.

Bakelite is still in use for some stuff. It has pretty decent heat resistance.
