Players must fend for themselves inSons of the Forest. After ten years of development, Endnight delivered a creepy survival horror experience that fans of theForestseries will enjoy. They can experiment with the accessible build system, fight off cannibals and mutants, and uncover the island’s dark secrets.
It is essential to maintain health and stamina while exploring the island. Players can hunt andgrow food or eat processed foodsaround the forest. A quick and easy meal is fish. Fish are in almost every body of water on the island, but gathering them can be time-consuming. So, here’s a complete guide on how to catch fish inSons of the Forest.
How to Fish in Sons of the Forest
Players do not have a fishing rod in Sons of the Forest. Instead, they must use afish trapto catch the aquatic creatures. Fish traps can be crafted using the Building Handbook, which can be viewed from the inventory or by clicking ‘B.’ They arein the Traps category, and players will need 25 sticks to build a fish trap.
Fish can only be caught in areas where they are visible. Popular locations include the mountain stream and the beach shoreline. After finding a good fishing spot, place the build plans in the water and insert the required materials. Kelvin can help gather sticks and be commanded to finish the structure. Fish will enter the trap one at a time, and players can keep up to three in their inventory.
If you are having difficulty finding fish,Kelvin can catch themin any body of water without a trap. Use the notepad to tell him to start fishing.
Fish can be eaten raw, cooked, or dried. The best way to prepare them is to hang them on the drying rack, since that extends their shelf life indefinitely. The drying rack can be found in the Build Handbook. Players can also store extras on the rack, which Kelvin and Virginia will appreciate.
Cooking fish requiresa fire and a cooking pot. Pots can be picked up from many of the abandoned campsites. Cooked fish doesn’t last as long as dried fish, but players will receive a strength buff when they eat it. Meals can only be cooked if players have the correct amount of ingredients. Place the cooking pot on an open flame, and any available recipes will appear in the grid menu.
