Will ANYTHING get rid of oily kipper taint on wooden chopping board?

Please help! We usually have different boards for different food - one favourite wooden chopping board for bread, fruit, most veg, and one for meat, onions, garlic and smelly stuff!
Dear DH used the best one to take skins off roasted kippers, and left the oily skins sinking in to it for several hours. Now it has a seemingly untemoveable taint of kipper on it. I’ve scrubbed with washing up liquid and hot water, but still there. Help! Any ideas? I don’t want fruit and toast to taste of fish forever!

Sprinkle with a good pile of salt and scrub it with half a lemon. The juicy side down. 🍋

salt
sprinkle LOADS on, scrub with a damp nail brush till it makes a paste
rinse and dry

this method also kills all bacteria better than ANY antibac product

Mustard powder. Dampen the board & rub in loads of mustard powder - leave half an hour & rinse well.

Bicarbonate of soda and lemon juice.
