Initial version with recipe, effects, ingredient details, and tips
Fishball Soup is one of the most powerful standard recovery items in Crimson Desert. At +340 HP, it offers the highest health restoration among standard pot recipes, making it a top-tier healing food for late-game content and difficult boss fights. The dish is prepared by simmering fish fillets with grain, vegetables, and salt in a pot of water at a cooking tool.
The Ice Resistance Lv 4 buff that comes with Fishball Soup lasts a full minute, providing meaningful protection during encounters with ice-based enemies. However, the recipe requires Fish Fillet rather than whole fish, adding an extra processing step. See the How to Get Fish Fillet guide for details on obtaining fillets.

At +340 HP, Fishball Soup is the highest single-item health restore among standard Field Pot recipes. Only special pot recipes and feast dishes surpass it.
Fish Fillet is a processed ingredient obtained by gutting fish at a cooking station. Each fish yields one or more fillets depending on its size. Fish can be caught through fishing at any of the fishing spots across Pywel. Grain includes Lentils, Beans, Barley, Wheat, and Peas. Vegetable includes Onion, Flax, Cucumber, Turnip, and Beet. Salt is purchased from merchants. Water is collected from any water source.
Fishball Soup is the best standard pot recipe for pure health restoration. Prioritize it for boss fights where you need maximum HP recovery per item slot.
The Fish Fillet requirement means you need to plan ahead. Process a batch of fish into fillets before starting a cooking session.
Pair Fishball Soup with fire-resistant food like Chewy Rice Cakes or Vegetable Rice Cake for dual resistance coverage.
For even stronger healing, look into Special Pot recipes that use cooked food as ingredients to produce the most powerful dishes in the game.
