How to Cook
Fish Porridge is a Field Pot recipe. Find a cooking station with a pot (campfire or town cooking area), open the Cook menu, navigate to the pot recipes section, and select Fish Porridge. You need all four ingredient types in your inventory.
Fish Fillets are obtained by cleaning fish after catching them via fishing. Salt can be purchased from grocer vendors or found while gathering. Water is collected from rivers and wells.
Renee's Request
Fish Porridge is the central objective of the commission quest "Renee's Request" in Hernand Town. Renee asks you to cook a Fish Porridge and deliver it to her. This quest is available early in the game and serves as a practical tutorial for the cooking system. To complete it:
Catch a fish at the Nas River or another nearby fishing spot
Clean the fish to obtain Fish Fillets
Cook Fish Porridge at any Field Pot
Deliver the dish to Renee to complete the quest
Tips
Fish Porridge has a high sell price (18 silver), making it a profitable dish to cook and sell if you have surplus fishing ingredients.
The Ice Resistance Lv 4 buff lasts a full minute, making Fish Porridge one of the best cold-weather provisions before accessing Special Pot recipes.
If you run out of whole fish, clean smaller catches into Fish Fillets. Two fillets substitute for one whole fish in the recipe.
Cook extra Fish Porridge while completing Renee's Request to stock up on healing items for upcoming story missions.
For even higher healing, consider upgrading to Meat Soup (+280 HP) or Fishball Soup (+340 HP) when you have the ingredients.
