How to cook or prepare 30+ kg fish

[Voltaire]

My char is starving and can't fillet a huge catfish kitchen counters and random tables don't work and the fish is to big to put in grills or campfires

Says here you need a knife to fillet it.

Otherwise you gotta find a container with 30+kg capacity lol.

When a recipe fails you can tell what requirement is missing from the crafting menu (press B), in your case what appears as unavailable? You are not trying to fillet with the right click in B42, right?

It says filleting gives 10 cooking xp, not needing cooking lv10

EDIT;
WOW THERE"S A HALVE FILLET RECIPE NOW! CHECK IT OUT!
That should solve the capacity problem

thanks I tried looking for fish, that didn't work and found it only looking for fillet.
My char will be getting over the 75 threshold now thanks again :D

So, I am running into a fun bug with the "halve fillet" recipe others have talked about here... the hunger gets divided evenly among the fillets. The calories, however, are fully applied to *each* half of the fillet. So I caught 1 75cm alligator gar and have gained about 32k calories of food from it, with half of it still in the freezer.

It's actually becoming a bit of a problem, because I don't want to gain that much weight.

Use the fish as an ingredient in another dish like fish stew. It "shouldn't" add as much.

To cook the largest fillets you need either a fire place or a double side by side industrial oven. Those are the two places that work.

I caught a big fish too.One time.And it always made me think of that scene in the movie JAWS were the fisherman had one of the sharks they found in a hook thing.So i built the one you use to slaughter animals.Near the river shore.I don't think it's going to work with fishes but ehh.

I think some of those fish weigh about as much as trying to haul around an antique stove! Something definitely "fishy" going on with the weight.

That's what I've been doing since - and each "piece" of the fillet that winds up in a soup or a roast is adding the calories you'd expect from the display (the soup I made with leeks & cabbage went from 300 to 3200 calories after adding a hunk of this fish to it - from a piece of a fillet that had its calories doubled up from being cut down twice.

I started off having to cut the fillets into smaller pieces because I usually play with the Disorganized trait, and had to cut them down in order to fit them in freezers. now I'm actively NOT cutting them any more than I had to because I'm scared of how many calories I've propagated.

Yeah they should make the butcher hook usable for fish, caught a 190cm paddlefish and it would be appropriate to use one.
