How to Cook Every Fins and Tails Food

Heat Sources and What They Cook

Use a Furnace, Smoker, or Campfire. All three handle the mod's eight smelting, eight smoking, and eight campfire recipes. Place raw catches in the top slot and fuel below.

Cook these into their cooked forms:

• Banded Redback Shrimp → Cooked Banded Redback Shrimp
• Bugfish Meat → Cooked Bugfish Meat
• Bull Crab Claw → Cooked Bull Crab Claw
• Luminous Calamari → Cooked Luminous Calamari
• Papa Wee → Cooked Papa Wee
• Wherble Fin → Cooked Wherble Fin

Smoking is faster than smelting for the same outputs. Campfires cook without fuel but take longer and cannot be automated.

Composite Foods

For Crab Sandwich, use the Crab Cruncher instead of a heat source. It accepts Bugfish Meat and related catch items through the crunching recipe type. Keep a stack of Bugfish Meat and Bugfish Mandibles on hand so you can batch sandwiches alongside cooked fish.

Store finished food in a chest near your cooking station. Cooked items stack and last indefinitely, so process entire fishing hauls at once rather than cooking per meal.
