The Ultimate Sea Of Thieves Fish Guide
By DisguisedPiggy
Have you ever been low on food and not been sure where to find it? Have you ever wanted to know the spawn location and prices for fish? Then this guide is for you! (May later add all price variants but I'm going to assume most will want to make the most possible so only have cooked variants currently)

Introduction
This guide is still being frequently updated so feel free to comment anything you want to be added! But currently all sell prices listed assume that you cooked the fish to perfection (more variants may be added later)!

Fish are passive Creatures in Sea of Thieves. There are ten species of fish that can be found to be fished, cooked or eaten. All of these fish can also be sold to the Hunter's Call organization for customization, commendations, reputation and a little bit of gold.

Fish can be found in two different sizes: The larger trophy fish and the regular-sized fish. The trophy fish are harder to find and catch but are worth far more than their smaller counterparts. There are three commendations that require trophy fish:

  • Hunter Of Trophy Fish : Deliver 25 Trophy Fish
  • Master Hunter Of Trophy Fish : Deliver 50 Trophy Fish
  • Legendary Hunter Of Trophy Fish : Deliver 100 Trophy Fish
Upon completion of all of these accommodations you will unlock a new title and can now be known as the Legendary Hunter of Trophy Fish.

Cooking Fish
Fish are two-portion food items that can be cooked on a stove when on your ship to receive more health and money when sold. Be careful when cooking your fish because if a fish is under-cooked or raw the consumption of these items can be dangerous. If one of these types of fish are consumed while raw your vision can go blurry and there is a chance you will vomit.

Regular Fish Cooking Time

  • Under-cooked: 30 seconds or less
  • Cooked: 40 seconds or more
  • Burnt: 80 seconds or more

Trophy Fish Cooking Time

  • Under-cooked: 80 seconds or less
  • Cooked: 90 seconds or more
  • Burnt: 180 seconds or more
