Revision 5

Red Snapper is a medium-sized fish caught in the deep waters around the Caribbean in Windrose. It is a Fishing pickup that processes into Fish Fillet, the universal cooked-fish ingredient used in dozens of Cooking recipes.

Flavor: Its scales blaze like a burst of fire from a ship's cannon.

How to Catch

Red Snapper is caught with a Fishing Rod in deep water tiles. Deep-water fish bite while you are anchored over open ocean tiles, beyond the surf line that surrounds each island. A reliable spot is anywhere your ship can drop anchor in pure blue sea. Out there, fish bite in a rolling rotation that includes mackerel, barracuda, bluefish, and Red Snapper among others.

Bait quality and rod tier raise the catch rate but do not affect which species bite. Higher-tier rods have shorter cast times and better tug response, which matters when several bite windows overlap on a busy fishing trip.

Catching Gear

If you have not built a rod yet, craft a Simple Fishing Rod from 5 Hardwood, 3 Rope, and 2 Foothills Iron Ingots. Equip it, cast the line over deep water, watch the bobber, and reel in the moment a large splash appears.

Uses

The primary use is processing into Fish Fillet at a kitchen Cookware station. Fish Fillet stacks high and feeds into recipes like Fish and Tostones, which sit at the top end of food buffs. Selling raw is generally a poor option compared to filleting first. As a rare, medium fish, one Red Snapper yields a generous batch of Fish Fillet per fish, far more than the small uncommon catches, so a short deep-water trip can stock a kitchen for many cooks. Process the catch at one of the Cooking Stations before sailing home to save inventory space.

Tips

Red Snapper weighs 0.4 kg per fish and stacks to 5. A full deep-water session can fill multiple stacks; bring extra inventory space or fillet on the deck.
