Salmon is a whole raw fish with rich pink meat. It is one of the most filling fish in the game for its weight. At 0.3 weight, it lowers hunger by 30 once cooked.

It is dangerous to eat raw and should always be cooked first. Salmon also goes into a wide range of dishes, from soups and stews to pizza and pasta. It can be sliced into Fish Fillets or made into sushi, maki and onigiri.

Salmon spoils fast, staying fresh for only 2 days. It is found in sushi and seafood kitchens, restaurant displays and grills. 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 Salmon lowers hunger by 30 and holds 270 calories. It carries 34 grams of protein and 10 grams of fat, with no carbohydrates. That protein makes it good food for keeping body weight and strength up.

Eating it raw is dangerous and can make the character sick. Cooked salmon is safe to eat.

Salmon is more filling than most river fish. A Largemouth Bass, a Yellow Perch or a Walleye each lowers hunger by 15 and weigh more at 0.4. Those fish also raise unhappiness by 20 when eaten. Salmon also beats them on calories, at 270 against 159.

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

Salmon cooks in 20 minutes and burns after 60. It cooks over a fire or in an oven. A microwave does a poor job with it.

The fish adds 15 hunger to Pizza, Soup, Stew, Pie, Stir Fry, Rice and Pasta. Raw fish can go into these dishes, since they are cooked afterwards. Once cooked, it adds 10 to a Salad or a Burrito and 5 to a Sandwich or a Taco.

The Slice Fillet recipe turns a whole Salmon into 2 Fish Fillets. Salmon also works in the Prepare Sushi, Prepare Maki and Prepare Onigiri recipes. The Cooking skill makes each ingredient go further, so a trained cook gets more out of every fish.

These dishes take the Salmon as an ingredient, with the hunger it restores in each.

Storage

Salmon stays fresh for only 2 days and is fully rotten by day 4. A fridge slows both counts down. A freezer keeps it much longer. Fresh salmon should be cooked or frozen soon after it is found.

Locations

Salmon is a common find in seafood places. Sushi kitchen freezers almost always hold it, and their fridges do so a little under half the time. Fancy restaurant displays hold it most of the time. Seafood kitchen fridges, freezers and butcher cases also stock it often.

Barbecues and propane grills in any building can turn up a salmon left cooking. Home stoves, freezers and fridges hold one now and then. Gigamart and grocery butcher cases stock it at a low rate.
