Tips

• Sell vs cook vs pond. At 58g, Bitterling can be sold raw, processed into Fish Fillet at the Separator, or stocked in a pond for breeding.

• Track time and weather. Open the Phone Apps to check weather forecasts. Some fish only spawn under specific conditions, and missing the window means waiting for the next cycle.
