Sailor’s Bounty is a Feast that increases your health by 45, stamina by 45, and health regeneration by 3 hp/tick for 50 minutes. It’s prepared from 5 Cooked Fish, 4 Thistle, 2 Cooked Serpent Meat and Seafarer’s Herbs at a Food Preparation Table.
Acquisition
Cooking a Sailor’s Bounty calls for 5 Cooked Fish, 4 Thistle, 2 Cooked Serpent Meat and Seafarer’s Herbs, as well as a Food Preparation Table to put them together
Before you can consume a Sailor’s Bounty, you’ll need to place using a Serving Tray as a tool
Here are some quick facts about the Feast’s ingredients:
Cooked Fish is prepared by processing any fish you catch at a Food Preparation Table, then roasting it on a Cooking Station
Thistle is a glowing plant found in the Black Forest and Swamp biomes
Cooked Serpent Meat is made by roasting Serpent Meat on an Iron Cooking Station
Seafarer’s Herbs are sold by the Bog Witch in bundles of 5 for 130 Coins
Feasts are a unique type of food that can be eaten up to 10 times before running out. The buffs they provide last 50 minutes and tend to be balanced in terms of health and stamina gains. As opposed to regular food, you can’t eat a Feast by right-clicking it in your inventory, and instead need to first place it on a flat surface.
To start cooking Feasts, you’ll need to find the Bog Witch trader in the Swamp biome. You’ll first need to buy a Serving Tray from her for 140 Coins. This will allow you to place Feasts. The witch also sells the herbs and spices required for cooking Feasts. In order to make a Sailor’s Bounty, you’ll need to buy some Seafarer’s Herbs from the witch. She starts selling them in bundles of 5 for 130 Coins after you defeat your first Serpent in the Ocean.
Cooked Fish is a deceptively complex recipe. To prepare it, you’ll first need to catch some fish either by using a Fishing Rod you buy from Haldor the trader, or picking up the fish you find washed up on the shore. Any fish will do here. You’ll need to take it to a Food Preparation Table (Iron x5, Finewood x20, Leather Scraps x15) and turn it into Raw Fish. Then, take this Raw Fish to a Cooking Station and roast it there for 25 seconds to produce Cooked Fish.
Thistle is a glowing plant you’ll find while exploring the Black Forest and Swamp biomes. Since it glows, it’s actually preferable to gather Thistle at night. Once you pick it, it will take 240 minutes to regrow.
Cooked Serpent Meat is produced by roasting Serpent Meat on an Iron Cooking Station for 60 seconds. Serpent Meat is dropped by serpents that live in the Ocean biome. Serpents tend to come out at night or during a storm. Defeating them in deep waters you risk losing their drops, so your best bet is to first drag them closer to shore with an Abyssal Harpoon (Finewood x8, Chitin x30, Leather Scraps x3).
Take these ingredients to a Food Preparation Table where you’ll combine 5 Cooked Fish, 4 Thistle, 2 Cooked Serpent Meat and Seafarer’s Herbs into a Sailor’s Bounty Feast. Then, simply place the Feast with your Serving Tray, and you’re good to go.

Uses
The main use for all Feasts is eating them to receive their buffs, but you can also use them as decorations for your base.
Placing a Feast
Before you can eat a Feast, you need to place it on a flat surface. You do that by assigning a Serving Tray to your hotbar and pressing the associated button. Then, click the right mouse button to open a crafting menu. The first two tabs of the Serving Tray menu will let you place food and Mead on various surfaces. The third deals with Feasts. Go to the Feasts tab, select Sailor’s Bounty, then place it using your cursor.
The Serving Tray description suggests that you need a table for your Feasts. In reality, you can put them on just about any flat surface. With your Feast placed, approach and interact with it. This will let you eat a portion of the Feast. In total, you can eat from a Feast up to 10 times. If you want to clean up after eating a Feast, you can do so by using the Serving Tray’s Remove function.

Eating a Feast
Even though you don’t eat it from your inventory screen, eating a Feast works just like eating any other food. When you take a bite out of Sailor’s Bounty, your health increases by 45, stamina by 45, and health regeneration by 3 hp/tick for 50 minutes. This can be combined with up to two other foods, but you can’t take more than one bite from Sailor’s Bounty at a time.
Sailor’s Bounty will initially grant you its full benefits, but they will grow weaker with time. When there’s just 50% left in the buff’s duration, or 25 minutes, the buff icon will start flashing, and you’ll be able to eat from the Feast again to refresh its effects.
You’ll only be able to purchase Seafarer’s Herbs from the Bog Witch after you’ve defeated a Serpent, so make sure to stock up on Serpent Meat before you go out looking for the seasoning
If you’ve placed a Feast and haven’t touched it yet, you can remove it with a Serving Tray and it’ll go back into your inventory. After you’ve eaten from it even once, removing a Feast destroys it completely
In what has to be a minor bug, if you spawn a Feast using a console command, you’ll only be able to have a single one of them in a stack, but it will weigh 1.0 instead of 10.0
