Fishy Smell In Entryway?

We have been experiencing a strange fishy smell in the same area which is sometimes evident and sometimes not for a few months now. Sometimes it is subtle and other times truly strong! It is in an enclosed area just inside our front door. I saw a similar Q and A to this on here which connects this possibly to being an electrical fault. But would this still be occurring when the only ceiling light and wall socket in there are off and not being used?

This sounds really serious. I received confirmation regarding the fishy smell and electrical fires from this site: " I know it sounds strange, but I've learned that most electronic shielding and plastic components are made with a certain kind of chemical that makes it high heat resistant. This chemical in the plastic releases a strange "fish" or "urine" smell when it's cooking. I spent hours researching this and found that almost every single person that mentioned the "fish smell" all came to the conclusion that there was a cooking electrical outlet, wire or circuit somewhere in the house." www.bobvila.com/.../55594-fishy-smell-in-house?page=2...

The flaw could be inside your wall, or attached to the bulb. I am uploading an awful pic of a house fire we had to be a part of when the lightbulb caught fire.

I think it would more likely be a plumbing issue. Gases are getting into your house somehow. Or else, something died in your wall.
