Overview
Battered Fish is a recovery item (provision) in Crimson Desert. Its in-game description reads: "Thinly sliced fish coated in egg and pan-fried until golden brown. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, it is an excellent side dish or snack." While its raw HP restoration is moderate, Battered Fish stands out for providing Fire Resistance Lv 4 for a full minute, making it a valuable pick for fights against fire-element enemies and bosses.

Tips
Battered Fish provides Fire Resistance Lv 4 for 1 minute, which is stronger and longer-lasting than the Lv 2 (30 seconds) offered by Battered Meat and Battered Vegetables. Prioritize it for fire-heavy encounters.
The HP restoration is only +100, so pair Battered Fish with a stock of Grilled Meat for sustained healing. Eat the Battered Fish first for the Fire Resistance buff, then rely on Grilled Meat for rapid HP recovery.
Cooking Oil is one of the more expensive ingredients. Stock up from grocers when visiting towns.
For an even stronger fish-based battered dish, look into Battered Seafood, which requires more ingredients but provides +260 HP, +24 Spirit, and Fire Resistance Lv 4.
