The Black Crappie is a whole freshwater fish that can be cooked and eaten or cut into fillets. It weighs 0.4 and is rich in protein. Like all whole fish, it is dangerous to eat raw and makes the character unhappy if eaten as it is.
The best use of a Black Crappie is to slice it into two Fish Fillets with a knife. Fillets go into soups, stews, rice and many other dishes, and they also make sushi. A whole fish keeps for a few days before it rots. Black Crappie turn up now and then in butcher and seafood display cases. The Rancher is the best occupation for raw meat and fish. It starts with the most Butchering skill. The Chef and the Fishing Guide also start with some Butchering skill.
Eating
A whole Black Crappie lowers hunger by 15. It holds 159 calories, with 35 grams of protein and almost no carbohydrates or fat. That makes it a lean, protein heavy food.
Eating the fish whole carries a heavy mood cost, as it adds 20 unhappiness. Raw fish is dangerous and can make the character sick, so it should always be cooked first. The cooked fish is good hot and bad cold, so it is best eaten straight off the heat.
Slicing the fish is usually the better choice. Fish Fillets are what soups, stews and other evolved dishes take. The Largemouth Bass has the same figures as the Black Crappie, so the two fish are equal as food.
The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.

Cooking
A whole Black Crappie cooks in 20 minutes and burns after 60. An oven or a fire is the right place to cook it, as fish is bad in a microwave.
The Slice Fillet recipe uses a sharp knife or a meat cleaver to turn the fish into two Fish Fillets. Fillets go into Soup, Stew, Pie, Stir Fry, Rice, Pasta and other dishes. The whole fish also goes straight into the Prepare Sushi, Prepare Maki and Prepare Onigiri recipes. The Cooking skill makes every ingredient go further in an evolved dish.
Storage
A Black Crappie stays fresh for 4 days and is fully rotten by day 8. A fridge or a freezer slows both counts down. A fresh fish is best filleted and cooked soon after it is found.
