Fish or fish fillet?

[Edy]

Should I cook the fish as whole or should I cut it into fillets? Which one yields more?

[Quill]

Fillets yield more hunger benefit as you can use them in cooking like stir fry

Whole fish is good for calorie bulking as you can eat it in one go and shoot up your weight

It depends upon context

[Edy]

So whole fish is for weight, and fillets are for hunger? Thanks a lot mate!

I think a 10 hunger fillet has like 700 calories, or about the same as a bag of chips. 10 hunger is small for a fillet so you can gain weight pretty fast with fillets too.

plus too, cooking a fish gives you cooking xp. if you then also fillet the fish you get more xp for that task, right?

Sometimes I cook the fish then fillet, sometimes i fillet then cook those. I never really crunch the numbers for max benefit, but it is something I bet you could research yourself while in game and fishing and cooking.

I have been taking fitness instructor or at least nutritionist trait to see more info on food and calories since the finalization of build 41.

Cooking the fish then using it in recipes also yields better nutrition/hunger gains

I do not like tuna. fact. I saw a can in a store and thought "dang, that looks good. I want a tuna sandwich." I get home and make one. take a bite. INSTANT SADNESS as I gag and drool it out into the trash bin. YUK. I still hate tuna. Maybe your character does not enjoy fish either.

Could it have been tagged as stale? that will net you +10 Boredom and Unhappiness

Nah, cooked whole fish will always add unhappiness for some reason. Could be mod, but I need to check again on vanilla.

whole fish has more calories, but is alot more heavier

[xTRACKERx]

whole fish is sometimes far too heavy for the fridge and stove. i get one yesterday with 16 kg´s.. (weight units)
so cut it into pieces :-) that's the only reason to use fillets.

I mean you are just kind of standing there gnawing on a cooked whole fish, spitting out bones and scales. Cutting the fish makes fillets without skin, bones or scales. I mean i would be pretty sad having to try to eat a whole fish.

Oh and the guts, lets not forget the guts. So yeah, whole fish = depressing.
