Shrimp and Fish Porridge is a cooking recipe in Starsand Island that blends Fish Fillet, Greasyback Shrimp, and Rice into a hearty seafood porridge. The recipe is exclusive to the Beach Festival event, making it a seasonal dish that players can only unlock during the summer celebration.
Restoring 97 stamina per serving, Shrimp and Fish Porridge sits among the stronger mid-tier recovery foods in the game. It sells for 206 Coins at standard vendors and can fetch double that through the Merchant Ship. The recipe does not grant any buff, so its value is purely in stamina recovery and profit. With five total ingredients spread across three item types, it requires a bit more preparation than simpler recipes but rewards players with solid returns for the effort.

Shrimp and Fish Porridge can be prepared at either a Gas Stove or a Campfire. Both stations produce the same result. The Gas Stove is generally preferred because it supports recipe queuing, allowing you to cook multiple batches while attending to other tasks around the island.
The Shrimp and Fish Porridge recipe is obtained during the Beach Festival, which takes place on Summer 27 each in-game year. Preparation activities begin on Summer 25 and Summer 26, giving players time to gather materials and help NPCs before the main event day. The recipe is one of five exclusive dishes tied to the Beach Festival alongside Coconut Rice, Red-Hot Medley, Sashimi, and Shrimp and Uni Sashimi.
Because the recipe is event-exclusive, it can only be unlocked during the Beach Festival window. If you miss it, you will need to wait until the following year's festival to get another chance. Once learned, however, the recipe stays in your cooking menu permanently and can be cooked at any time throughout the year as long as you have the ingredients on hand.
Shrimp and Fish Porridge requires three different ingredients totaling five items per serving. All three are renewable resources that can be farmed or fished without any seasonal restrictions, making it possible to cook this dish year-round once you have the recipe.
Fish Fillet is a processed ingredient created by putting any raw fish through a Separator. Common catches like Clownfish work just as well as rare species for producing Fish Fillet, so there is no need to chase expensive fish for this recipe. To build up a steady supply, keep a few fishing sessions going each week and process the catch at a Separator. Two Fish Fillets are needed per serving of Shrimp and Fish Porridge.
Greasyback Shrimp is an ocean fish that can be caught year-round in all weather conditions. It is available from 6:00 AM to 2:00 AM and accepts any bait type, making it one of the most accessible ocean catches in the game. To fish in the ocean, you need to have rebuilt Starsand Port and rent a yacht to reach open-water zones. Only one Greasyback Shrimp is needed per serving, so even a short ocean fishing trip can yield enough for several batches.
Rice is an all-season crop that grows in Paddy Fields. Rice Seeds cost 250 Coins from the Happiness Seed Shop, and each plant takes approximately 9 days to mature, yielding 4 Rice on harvest. Since Shrimp and Fish Porridge requires 2 Rice per serving, a single harvest from one Rice plant provides enough for two batches. Keep Paddy Fields planted year-round and use sprinklers to automate watering for a hassle-free supply.
Shrimp and Fish Porridge sells for 206 Coins per serving at standard vendors. The primary cost is the time spent fishing for Greasyback Shrimp and processing Fish Fillets, since Rice is cheap and easy to grow. Compared to other mid-tier recipes, the 206 Coin sell price is competitive, though it falls short of high-end dishes that use rarer ingredients.
Selling cooked dishes to the Merchant Ship at Starsand Port doubles the sell price. If you stockpile Shrimp and Fish Porridge throughout the week and sell it all on Monday when the ship docks, each serving yields 412 Coins instead of 206. This makes bulk production worthwhile for players who already fish regularly and have a surplus of Fish Fillets and Greasyback Shrimp.
For players focused on maximizing cooking income, Shrimp and Fish Porridge works best as part of a diversified cooking rotation. Pair it with other seafood recipes that share the same ingredient pipeline, such as Sashimi or Steamed Fish, to make the most of each fishing trip without letting any catch go to waste.
Shrimp and Fish Porridge is one of five exclusive recipes available during the Beach Festival event. Here is how it compares to the other festival dishes.
Recipe | Ingredients | Sell Price | |
|---|---|---|---|
Shrimp and Fish Porridge | Fish Fillet x2, Greasyback Shrimp x1, Rice x2 | +97 | 206 Coins |
Dragon Fruit x3, Red Grape x1, Tomato x1 | +106 | 252 Coins | |
+94 | 194 Coins | ||
Fish Fillet x3, Rice x2 | +88 | 173 Coins | |
Giant River Prawn x1, Sea Urchin x1 | +81 | 150 Coins |
Among the Beach Festival recipes, Shrimp and Fish Porridge ranks second in both stamina restoration and sell price. Red-Hot Medley offers better returns overall, but it requires Dragon Fruit and Red Grapes, which are harder to source in large quantities. Shrimp and Fish Porridge strikes a practical balance between accessibility and value, especially for players who already have a fishing routine established.
Several other recipes share ingredients with Shrimp and Fish Porridge. If you are already gathering Fish Fillet, Greasyback Shrimp, or Rice, consider these dishes to make the most of your supplies.
Recipe | Key Ingredients | Sell Price | |

Fish Fillet x3, Rice x2 | +88 | 173 Coins | |
Fish Fillet x3, Leek x1, Fine Salt x1 | +88 | 171 Coins | |

Sauteed Grouper Fillet with Shrimp Roe uses both Fish Fillet and Greasyback Shrimp in larger quantities, making it a natural upgrade for players who want to scale up their seafood cooking. Golden Fried Rice and Yangzhou Fried Rice are strong alternatives when you want to use Rice without relying on fishing ingredients.
Stock up on Fish Fillet and Rice before the Beach Festival begins. The only ingredient you cannot pre-farm in large quantities is the recipe itself, so having materials ready lets you start cooking immediately once the recipe is unlocked.
Greasyback Shrimp can be caught year-round with any bait, so there is no seasonal pressure. Keep a small reserve in your inventory or a chest near your Gas Stove for quick access.
Remember that the recipe is permanently learned once obtained. Even though it comes from the Beach Festival, you can cook Shrimp and Fish Porridge in any season after learning it.
If you are primarily cooking for profit, save your servings and sell them in bulk to the Merchant Ship on Monday for double the normal price (412 Coins per serving).
Process surplus fish through the Separator regularly. Even common catches contribute Fish Fillets, and building a stockpile makes it easy to cook multiple seafood recipes without dedicated fishing trips.
Compare this recipe with Sashimi when deciding how to use your Fish Fillets. Sashimi uses 3 Fish Fillets but no Greasyback Shrimp, while Shrimp and Fish Porridge uses only 2 Fish Fillets plus 1 shrimp. If shrimp is easier to come by than extra Fish Fillets, porridge is the better choice.
