Cooking and Eating Fish You Catch

Raw Catches

Fishing and bucket work in this mod give you Perch, Pike, Lionfish, and Pickerelweed. Each fish has a Bucket form (Bucket of Perch, Bucket of Pike, Bucket of Lionfish) if you want to keep it alive, plus Bucket of Squid, Bucket of Glow Squid, Bucket of Jellyfish, and Bucket of Nautilus for the other catchable creatures. Raw Perch, Pike, and Lionfish are your food inputs.

Cooking Methods

Three cooking recipe types apply to these fish: smelting, campfire_cooking, and smoking. Smelt a raw fish in a Furnace for a standard Cooked Perch, Cooked Pike, or Cooked Lionfish. Use a Smoker for the fastest result on the same fish. Use a Campfire to cook them without fuel, which is useful when you are set up on a beach away from your furnace. Pickerelweed is handled differently: Boiled Pickerelweed is the edible result, and Boiled Pickerelweed Block is the block form you can place. If you want a portable rest option while fishing, craft a Bedroll and place it near your campfire so you can sleep and keep cooking. Keep a stack of raw Perch or Pike on hand, since they are the most common catches, and reserve Lionfish for when you have enough to spare. Buckets let you relocate live catches to a tank or pond instead of cooking them.
