Template:Food Raw Fish is a food item that can be obtained by fishing with a Fishing Rod in any body of water. Fish do not appear in the game as a mob and are only seen as an item when caught. Fishing is a reliable, fast source of food, as the player does not need to wait for pigs to spawn or for planted crops to grow. However, string is required to craft a fishing rod and early on in the game it may be difficult to acquire.
Like Pork, raw fish can be placed in a furnace to produce Cooked Fish, for 1.5 additional hearts of healing (raw fish heals and Cooked Fish heals ).
In the Halloween update, Notch said he would add fish. [citation needed] However, he had limited time, and was thus only able to add them as an item. There is coding for fish in the game, but no model currently exists.
Tip: Keep an eye on the floater for the fishing rod. It will drop below the water when you have caught a fish.
Trivia
- For the most productive fishing, cast into the water with a large wall at your back - when fish are reeled in, they can fly out of the water and over your head, possibly going back into the water, especially if you are fishing from a boat.
