strange cabin smell

Has anyone one experienced this? A strong "fishy" smell in the cabin after start up from cold.This gradually disappears within a mile or two.
Now I can almost hear the chorus of "DPF burn off",but I have experienced this before and it was a strong burning rubber like smell and always when stationary after a short trip.This is different in smell and time.
I use Shell V power diesel only and have 19K on the clock.Just had this problem for the last few days.The previous DPF burn off smell was most noticeable outside the car, where this current smell is definitely in the cabin (but I am driving at the time lol)
Any ideas?
