If you're looking to take a break from plundering and pillaging in Sea of Thieves, why not try your hand at fishing? Not only is it a relaxing activity, but it can also yield valuable resources. In this guide, we'll cover everything you need to know about fishing in Sea of Thieves, including how to catch and cook different types of fish.

Getting Started

To start fishing in Sea of Thieves, you'll need a fishing rod. Every Player Pirate acquires a Fishing Rod during their Maiden Voyage. Once you have a fishing rod, equip it by selecting it from your inventory and assigning it to a quickslot.

Catching Fish

To catch fish in Sea of Thieves, cast your line into the water by holding down the left trigger button (on Xbox) or left mouse button (on PC). Wait for a fish to bite by watching for the bobber to dip underwater. When you see the bobber move, reel in the line by holding down the right trigger button (on Xbox) or right mouse button (on PC). Be careful not to reel in too quickly, as this can cause the fish to get away.

Types of Fish

There are several types of fish you can catch in Sea of Thieves, each with its own unique properties. Here are some of the most common types of fish and what they're good for:

  • Splashtail: These small fish can be found in most bodies of water and are the easiest to catch. They can be cooked on a stove for a small amount of health regeneration.
  • Islehopper: These larger fish can be found near islands and can be cooked for a moderate amount of health regeneration.
  • Plentifin: These medium-sized fish can be found in open waters and can be cooked for a moderate amount of health regeneration.
  • Wildsplash: These medium-sized fish can be found near shipwrecks and can be cooked for a moderate amount of health regeneration.
  • Devilfish: These large fish can be found near volcanoes and can be cooked for a large amount of health regeneration.
  • Ancientscale: These rare fish can be found in ancient ruins and can be cooked for a large amount of health regeneration.

Cooking Fish

To cook fish in Sea of Thieves, find a stove on your ship or on an island. Approach the stove and select the fish from your inventory that you want to cook. Hold down the "cook" button (on Xbox, it's the X button) to start cooking the fish. Be careful not to overcook the fish, as this will reduce its value and health regeneration properties.

  • When fishing, try to avoid casting your line too close to other players' boats or fishing spots to avoid interference.
  • If you're having trouble catching a specific type of fish, try changing your location.
  • Remember that you can catch multiple fish before cooking them all at once to save time and stove resources.
