99 How to Get Fish Fillet

1010

1111 Getting Fish Fillet is a two-step process: first catch a fish, then clean it through your inventory. Any species of fish can be cleaned into Fish Fillet; there is no restriction on which type you use.

1212

1313 Step 1: Obtain a Fishing Rod

1414

1515 Before you can fish with a rod, you need to acquire one. There are two main ways to get a Fishing Rod:

1616

1717 Free rod from Annabella: Trigger Annabella's Request, which asks you to catch a Tench. Annabella gives you a fishing rod as part of the quest.Purchase from a vendor: Buy one from Alden at the Provisioner's Shop in Hernand for 15 copper coins. Hailard at the Rodbel Fishing Dock also sells rods at the same price.

1818

1919 Upgraded fine fishing rods become available later in the game and offer faster reeling speed.

2121 Step 2: Catch a Fish

2222

2323 With a fishing rod equipped (hold left D-Pad on controller or press T on PC to open the quick menu, then select the rod), head to any body of water that is at least knee-deep. The Nas River near Howling Hill is a solid beginner spot. Follow these steps to catch a fish:

2424

2525 Cast your line: Press and hold the Aim button, then release to throw your line into the water. Look for blue circles on the surface, which indicate active fishing spots.Wait for a bite: Stay still and listen for a splash sound or feel for controller vibration. When a fish bites, press the Hook button immediately.Tire the fish out: Pull your rod in the opposite direction of the fish's movement using the left stick or WASD. If it swims left, pull right. If it swims right, pull left. Keep this up until the bubbles stop and the fish settles.Reel it in: Once the fish stops struggling, rotate the right stick clockwise (controller) or roll the mouse wheel (PC) to reel the fish into your inventory.

2727 Alternative: Catching Fish by Hand

2828

2929 You do not strictly need a fishing rod. If you wade into shallow water and spot a fish rendered in the water, you can press the interact button to grab it directly. This skips the fishing minigame entirely and places the fish in your inventory. Hand-catching is faster but only works in shallow areas where fish are visible.

3131 Alternative: Buying Fish from Vendors

3232

3333 If you prefer to skip fishing altogether, you can buy fish from Hailard's Fish Market at the Rodbel Fishing Dock or from the Vellua Fishermen's Guild. Some of the fish available for purchase include:

3636 Purchased fish can be cleaned into Fish Fillet just like any fish you catch yourself.

3838 Step 3: Clean the Fish

3939

4040 Once you have a fish in your inventory, open your inventory screen, select the fish, and hold the Use button. You will be given the option to either eat the fish raw (which restores a small amount of HP) or Clean it. Choose Clean to convert the whole fish into Fish Fillet. The fillet is then added to your crafting materials and can be used in any recipe that calls for it.

5656 Fish Fillet and Renee's Request

5757

5858 Renee's Request is a Hernand commission quest that asks you to cook Fish Porridge. This is often the first time players need Fish Fillet as a specific crafting ingredient. To complete the quest, catch any fish (or buy one), clean it in your inventory to produce 2 Fish Fillet, then gather the remaining ingredients (1 grain, 1 Salt, 3 Water) and cook Fish Porridge at a Field Pot.

6060 Tips

6161

6262 Clean, don't eat raw: Eating a raw fish restores only a small amount of HP. Cleaning it into Fish Fillet and then cooking a recipe provides significantly more healing and useful buffs like elemental resistance.Stock up early: Fish Fillet is used across multiple recipes. When you visit a body of water, catch several fish at once and clean them all so you have a reserve of fillets for cooking on the go.Hand-catching saves time: In shallow water where you can see fish swimming, grab them by hand to skip the fishing minigame. This is the fastest way to gather fish for fillet production.Buy cheap fish for fillets: Pond Loach, Small Rasbora, and Small Gudgeon cost only 27 copper coins each at Hailard's shop. Since all fish produce the same Fish Fillet when cleaned, these are the most cost-effective options if you are buying in bulk.Feed cats with raw fish: Before cleaning all your fish, consider setting aside a few raw fish. Feeding raw fish to stray cats builds trust toward adopting them as pets. You need 100 trust to adopt a cat.Rodbel Fishing Dock: This location south of Rocca's Hill and east of Hernand is one of the best fishing spots. Clear the bandits occupying the area first, then fish freely and buy from Hailard's market.
