A Fish Fillet is a raw cut of fish meat, sliced from a whole fish. It is one of the most useful ingredients for a survivor who fishes. It goes into soups, stews, pies, sushi and many other dishes, and it makes good fishing chum.
Eaten raw, a fillet can cause food sickness, so it should be cooked first. It spoils very fast, within two days. Fillets come from slicing any caught fish with a knife, and restaurant kitchens and freezers hold them too. The Chef is the best occupation for cooked and prepared. It starts with the most Cooking skill. The Burger Flipper also starts with some Cooking skill.
Eating
A Fish Fillet lowers hunger by 25. Its exact value depends on the size of the fish it was cut from. A standard fillet holds 205 calories, with about 28.5 grams of protein, 12 grams of fat and almost no carbohydrates. That is a rich meal for its weight of 0.2.
Raw fish carries the risk of food sickness. A cooked fillet is better hot, so it is best eaten soon after cooking. Cooking it in a microwave leaves the meal less pleasant to eat.
Ready-made Fish (Fried) lowers hunger by 30, a little more than a standard fillet.
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.

Storage
A Fish Fillet stays fresh for 2 days and is fully rotten by day 4. That is a very short shelf life. A fridge slows both counts, and a freezer slows them far more. Fillets that will not be cooked soon belong in a freezer.

Fish Fillets are a common find in fish restaurants. Fish and chips kitchens always hold them on display, and their fridges and freezers hold them most of the time. Fancy restaurant displays always carry them too. Deep fry and Mexican kitchens keep them in fridges and freezers often.
Survivor safehouse stoves hold them a little over a third of the time. House freezers, garage freezers and seafood kitchens turn them up now and then.
