Turning a Fishing Trip into a Stockpile of Cooked Food

Catch, Then Cook Immediately

A fishing trip in Advanced Fishing is only half done when you reel in fish. The raw catches need processing, and the mod gives you three ways to do it: campfire_cooking, smelting, and smoking. Plan the cooking step before you leave base so nothing sits raw in your inventory.

A Repeatable Loop

1. Craft a Chum Bucket using the shaped recipe at a crafting table and bring it with you.

2. Fish at your spot, using the Chum Bucket to concentrate fish in the water.

3. As you catch fish, cook them at a lit campfire on the shore. No fuel needed, so you can process each catch as it comes.

4. When your inventory fills, return to base and run the rest through a furnace or smoker for speed.

The cooked results are Cooked Crucian, Cooked Eel, Cooked Jellyfish, Cooked Koi, Cooked Pike, and Cooked Сatfish. Because all three stations accept the same raw inputs, you never have to sort your catch by type before cooking — dump everything into whichever station is closest. Keep the cooked fish as travel food and repeat the loop each trip to build a stockpile.
