While originally written off due to lack of content, Sea of Thieves has continued to update into a complete game. With a huge player surge on Steam and a good streaming base, it's clear that Sea of Thieves has found new life.
Through various different activities, Sea of Thieves tries to cover as much of the stereotypical pirate experience as it can. There's digging for buried treasure of course, but that's not the only way to make money. It's also possible to get paid for turning in something as mundane as a fish. However, knowing exactly where to turn in the oceanic denizens can be confusing, so here's a quick guide on where to sell fish.
Actually Obtaining Fish
Before selling fish, players must know how to catch them. There are several varieties of fish in Sea of Thieves, some of which require the proper bait. Once the bait is set on the fishing rod (a starter item), players can cast it out and wait for a bite. In one of gaming's current most intuitive fishing games, players must pull the line in the opposite direction the fish is pulling. Tire it out, reel it in, rinse and repeat.
Proper Cooking Techniques
While raw fish can be sold on its own, cooked fish sells for a lot more (and can be eaten by players in a pinch). Cooking the fish properly requires timing, so watch the fish as it cooks. Once its eyes go white, it's perfectly cooked, so pull it out. Any more and it gets burnt, making it next to worthless. If attempting to conquer the seas solo, do this in a safe place, since it leaves players particularly vulnerable, as does fishing itself. Try not to pull out the fishing rod in the middle of dangerous waters without a lookout on duty.
Selling Fish
Fish are sold to members of one of Sea of Thieves' trading companies: Hunter's Call. They do not appear at ports like most shops, so don't go hunting for a Hunter's Call trader in any of the main hubs. Instead, look for small docks jutting out from rocky clusters throughout the map. Some of these include Brian's Bazaar at Y12, The Finest Trading Post at F17, and Stephen's Spoils at L15/16. These are the places where players can trade in their fish for profit, and once you've seen one, it will be readily recognizable what to look for.
That's the long and short of catching, cooking, and selling fish in Sea of Thieves. If pirate gameplay is the craving, check it out and see what 15 million players are enjoying.
