Fish

Fish are a great food source, although not as good as meat. Fish are often the best food for new players, as they are easy to catch and fill up quite a lot of the hunger bar, depending on the fish. They are obtained through the Fishing skill.

To catch a fish, you need a tool to catch the fish with and a spot where there is fish. Fish can be caught with clubs, spears (e.g. javelins, actual spear, staffs) and fishing rods, in order of best to worst.

Types of Fish
Fish can be broadly divided into 'small' fish (weight =&lt; 1 lb), which give little nutrition, and 'large' fish, 3 lbs and up. Small fish are best used as emergency food sources, trap bait, or ritual offerings, while large fish are good to eat.

Small Fish

 * Perch
 * Roach
 * Bream
 * Pike-perch (large, at 2 lbs)

Often freshwater, they are the easiest fish to catch.

Large Fish

 * Pike
 * Burbot
 * Trout
 * Salmon
 * Lavaret

These fish make wonderful sources of food, though they can sometimes be hard to find. Fishing in deep water or in rapid tiles makes you more likely to catch one.

All fish can be preserved the same way as meat, by smoking, salting, or drying.
