Ingredients	Any Fish (1); Coal (1)
Time	50m
Sell Price	2 × Fish Sell Price (includes Quality & Artisan prices)

Smoked Fish is what the Fish Smoker makes from a single fish and one piece of Coal. Smoking doubles the fish's price and keeps its star quality, which makes the smoker a strong partner for any fishing farm. It accepts almost any catch, from Legendary Fish to the shellfish that fill a Crab Pot. Because Smoked Fish counts as an artisan good, both the fishing professions and the Artisan profession raise its price. The Raccoon family also asks for one in their very first request.

Making

Willy sells the Fish Smoker recipe at the Fish Shop. Crafting a smoker takes Hardwood plus one Sea Jelly, one River Jelly and one Cave Jelly. Farms on the Riverland map start with a Fish Smoker already standing on the land.

The smoker takes one fish and one Coal and finishes in under an hour of game time. That short cycle means a single smoker can work through a whole day's catch in an evening.

The Smoked Fish keeps the quality of the fish that went in. An iridium Catfish comes out as iridium Smoked Catfish, so high-quality catches lose nothing in the smoker.

Crab Pot catches work as well. Clams, Mussels, Oysters, Crayfish and Snails all go in, and smoking turns even the inedible ones into food.

Legendary Fish can be smoked too. A smoked Legend sells for twice the already huge price of the fish, which makes it the most valuable Smoked Fish of all.

These are the ingredients one batch needs.

Prices

Smoked Fish sells for twice the price of the same fish at the same quality. The Fisher and Angler professions raise the fish's price first, and the smoker then doubles that higher figure. The Artisan profession adds two fifths on top of the smoked price. With Artisan alone, every Smoked Fish sells for 2.8 times the raw fish.

Coal is the hidden cost. The Blacksmith sells Coal for more than many cheap fish are worth. Smoking a Carp or a Perch with bought Coal therefore loses gold. Coal mined in the Mines, dropped by monsters or burned in a Charcoal Kiln costs nothing extra, and it makes smoking pay for almost any fish.

Pierre's General Store buys Smoked Fish as an artisan good. Willy's Fish Shop turns it away, so the shipping bin or Pierre is the place to sell it.

Uses

After the Giant Stump in Cindersap Forest is repaired, the Raccoon family starts asking for help. Their first request includes a Smoked Fish, and later requests may ask for one again.

Smoked Fish is also handy food. It restores half again as much energy and health as the raw fish.

Notes

Smoked Fish is a liked gift for most villagers, including Demetrius, Elliott, Krobus and Willy. Jas, Sebastian and Vincent hate it.

Each Smoked Fish carries the name of the fish it came from, such as Smoked Salmon or Smoked Legend.
