Fishing & Cooking (Hunter's Call) — Sea of Thieves Guide

Learn the ins and outs of fishing and cooking in Sea of Thieves. Discover how to catch various fish, prepare them, and sell them to The Hunter's Call for gold and reputation.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Obtain Fishing Rod: You start with a fishing rod.
  2. 2
    Find a Fishing Spot: Look for shimmering water, often near islands or shipwrecks. Different biomes (open water, shores, murky waters) yield different fish.
  3. 3
    Cast Your Line: Aim your rod and cast the line into the water.
  4. 4
    Wait for a Bite: Be patient. When you feel a tug, reel in slightly to set the hook.
  5. 5
    Reel In the Fish: Keep the fish towards the center of the screen while reeling. You'll need to fight its movements by adjusting your rod.
  6. 6
    Cook the Fish: Place the caught fish on a cooking pot (on your ship or an island). Cook until it turns golden brown. Overcooked or undercooked fish are worth less.
  7. 7
    Sell to The Hunter's Call: Take your cooked fish to any Hunter's Call representative at an outpost to sell them for gold and reputation.
Tips
  • Biome Specific Fish: Research which fish can be found in which biomes (e.g., Pondies in shores, Splashtails in open water, Battlegills in the Devil's Shroud).
  • Bait Matters: Different bait (Worms, Grubs, Leeches) attract different types of fish.
  • Cooking Perfection: Watch the fish closely while cooking. It will change color. Aim for the golden-brown stage for maximum value.
  • Legendary Trophy Fish: Some rare fish are considered trophies and are worth significantly more.
  • The Hunter's Call Quests: The Hunter's Call offers quests that guide you to specific fish or fishing locations.
