Cooked Fish

Overiew

Cooked Fish is an odd recipe. Despite technically being just fish cooked over an open fire, in order to prepare your catch for cooking, you will need to process it at a Food Preparation Table. And since you need Iron to build it, you won’t be able to start cooking fish until after you’ve explored the Swamp biome. And while you can occasionally grab a fish off the shore, to get a reasonable amount of it, you will need a Fishing Rod and bait sold by Haldor, an NPC trader found in the Black Forest. Once you’ve done all that prep work, consuming a Cooked Fish will raise your health by 45, stamina by 15, and health regeneration by 2 hp/tick.

To eat a Cooked Fish you can go into your inventory screen and simply right-click it there. You can eat it together with two other food sources, but you can’t eat more than one Cooked Fish at a time.

Eating a Cooked Fish provides you with a buff that grants you the listed benefits, but gets weaker with time. Once it’s 50% done, with 10 minutes left to go in its duration, the buff icon will begin flashing and you’ll be able to eat another Cooked Fish and refresh the effects.

Recipe

The recipe to craft Cooked Fish is really simple. All you’ll need is:

• Raw Fish

Raw Fish is created by processing any fish you catch in the game at a Food Preparation Table. Once you have some Raw Fish, you can throw it on a Cooking Station with a fire burning underneath for 25 seconds. When the fish is cooked, don’t forget to grab it. If you leave it cooking for too long, it will turn into Coal.

Ingredients

In order to prepare Cooked Fish, you will need to have some Raw Fish. You get it by processing the fish you catch, no matter what kind, at a Food Preparation Table. To have fish to process, you’ll need to catch it first. Occasionally, you can find some fish washed ashore. But most of the time, you’ll need to fish for it using the Fishing Rod you buy from Haldor the trader.
