A Spotted Bass is a freshwater game fish. It is a lean, protein rich food that must be cooked before eating. A whole bass is best sliced into fillets or used for sushi.
Bass spoil within a few days, so a catch should be cooked or prepared soon. Most bass come from fishing. A few also sit in the butcher display cases of seafood restaurants and grocery stores. 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 Spotted Bass lowers hunger by 15. Eaten raw, it is dangerous and can make a character sick. A whole fish also raises unhappiness by 20.
The fish holds 159 calories, with 35 grams of protein and almost no fat or carbohydrates. That makes it a lean food that does little for weight gain on its own. It is better hot and worse cold, so it is best eaten soon after cooking.
Slicing the bass with the Slice Fillet recipe gives 2 Fish Fillets. Two fillets fill far more than the whole fish, so slicing is almost always the better choice.
The Largemouth Bass and Smallmouth Bass share exactly the same values.
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 bass cooks in 20 minutes on a stove or over a fire and burns after 60. It is bad in a microwave, so a stove, oven or campfire is the better choice.
The fish also feeds several prepared dishes. It goes into the Prepare Sushi, Prepare Maki and Prepare Onigiri recipes, which turn it into Fish Sushi, Maki and Onigiri. The Slice Fillet recipe is the usual first step before cooking. The Cooking skill makes each ingredient go further.
Storage
A fresh bass stays fresh for 4 days and is rotten by day 8. A fridge slows both counts, and a freezer keeps it far longer. A catch that will not be eaten soon is best frozen.
Locations
Spotted Bass are rare as loot. Gigamart kitchens and seafood kitchens hold one in their butcher display cases about one time in twenty. Gigamart, grocery store, barbecue store and butcher display cases hold them less often. Restaurant freezers and fridges turn one up rarely. Fishing is the reliable way to get them.
