Cooked Fish Meat — Detailed Guide

Cooking fish for a quick meal

Raw Fish Meat turns into Cooked Fish Meat once it is cooked, in both ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. The game's own wording: "Sates your hunger SLIGHTLY, and provides health while being digested." For a survivor that works out to 10 food and 8 health per piece, and it helps health and stamina recover. Wild carnivores eat it as well, although they would rather have raw meat.

Cooking it

Raw Fish Meat cooks at a Campfire, a Stone Fireplace or an Industrial Grill, one piece in about 20 seconds. The ARK Wiki mentions a bug in which an older campfire may refuse to cook raw fish; a newly built campfire cooks it properly.

Spoilage and weight

It spoils after 30 minutes (1800 seconds). Each piece weighs 0.1, and with a stack size of 50 a full stack weighs 5.

Other uses and loot

In both games our data lists one recipe: Simple Kibble, which takes 1. The wiki adds Fish Jerky, which ASE allows since the Aquatica release. Loot is another source: 102 crate types can contain it, including the Astraeos Blue crates and the Astral Argentavis and Astral Carnotaurus crates. Our data lists it on 14 maps.
