There's plenty of fish in the sea! This is excellent advice to use in real life, but unfortunately complicates things in Sea of Thieves. In the game, you'll find the wide variety of fish means a complicated list of how much they're worth and where you'll find them. Luckily, we've sailed the seas and discovered the best locations to catch and sell even the rarest fish!

Sea of Thieves Fish Guide: Fish Prices, Cooking Time, & Locations
There are many different types and rarities for fish in the open sea. Just because you're only able to sell them to The Hunter's Call doesn't mean that makes things any more simple. You still need to consider in what condition to sell them and where you'll catch the rarer and more valuable fish. We've made this easy for you! Listed below is everything you need to know about fish in Sea of Thieves!
Cooking
This is the easiest part to remember about fish. Cooking can be done at the frying pan on the boat or at campfires placed sporadically throughout the islands you visit. It may seem like the fish require close observation to make sure you cook them just right, but they actually follow a very simple pattern!
- Normal Fish
- Raw: 0 - 30 seconds
- Undercooked: 30 - 40 seconds
- Perfectly Cooked: 40 - 80 seconds
- Overcooked: 80+ seconds
- Trophy fish
- Raw: 0 - 80 seconds
- Undercooked: 80 - 90 seconds
- Perfectly cooked: 90 - 180 seconds
- Overcooked: 180+ seconds
Cooking times ignore type and rarity. The only thing that matters is whether the fish is a normal fish or a trophy fish. You will be able to tell which fish are trophy fish because they will have Trophy in their name when you go to pick them up, and they're much larger than normal fish. One last important note about cooking: do not overcook the fish. This makes them less valuable than even raw fish!
