Overview
Battered Meat and Fish is an advanced recovery item in Crimson Desert that combines meat and fish ingredients into a fried dish with strong healing and a fire resistance buff. The in-game description reads: "Various ingredients have been lightly coated in Egg and pan-fried to perfection." It is one of the higher-tier foods available through pot cooking, requiring multiple ingredient types.
This dish falls under the Field Cooking (Pot Cooking) subcategory of the Cooking system. Unlike simple grilled foods that use a Cooking Field Tool, pot dishes require a more involved cooking process. The fire resistance bonus makes this dish especially useful before encounters with fire-based enemies or environmental hazards.

The Fire Resistance Lv 4 buff significantly reduces fire damage taken, which is relevant against fire-breathing bosses, volcanic terrain, and enemies that use fire-based attacks. At 240 health restored, this dish also provides substantial healing comparable to mid-to-late game needs.
How to Craft
Battered Meat and Fish requires the recipe scroll, which can be purchased from the camp cook Ronnie at the Greymane Camp or found through exploration. The dish uses four different ingredients, so preparation requires some advance planning. Fish Fillets come from processing caught fish, and Cooking Oil is available from merchants.
Tips
Stock up on Eggs early by building chicken coops at the Greymane Camp. Eggs are used in several advanced recipes.
The fire resistance buff makes this the go-to food before fighting fire dragons or entering volcanic caves.
Fish Fillets are a processed ingredient, not raw fish. You need to catch fish and then process them at a cooking station to get fillets.
