Where to Find
Fish Fillet is obtained exclusively by cleaning fish that you catch. To acquire it:
Fishing: Cast a line at rivers, lakes, and coastal areas across Pywel. After catching a fish, clean it through the inventory to produce Fish Fillet. Different water bodies yield different fish species, but all cleaning produces usable fillet.
Vendors: Some fish vendors or grocery merchants in larger towns may stock Fish Fillet directly, allowing you to skip the fishing step.
Rivers running through Hernand and Demeniss are reliable fishing spots early in the game. Deeper waters and coastal fishing become available as you explore further regions.
