Processing Fish
Fish can be turned into Raw Fish Fillets using a Fillet Knife. The number of fillets depends on the fish's weight and the quality of the knife. * Fillet Knife Recipe: 1 Stick + 2 Materials (Wood, Stone, Iron, Gold, Diamond, or Neptunium). * Cooking: Raw Fish Fillets can be cooked in a furnace to create Cooked Fish Fillets, which restore 2.5 hunger bars.
