Most food items give some water, some more than others. Some a lot more than others.

To make just water, look at what the fabricator needs to make it. At the start of the game you have two options.

Meaning some foods will restore your thirst, not actually giving a water item.

Unless it's unlocked another way later, yes, bladderfish alone will allow you to make filtered water. You might need at least flippers to keep up with them though, they seem simple enough to catch at that point. And they are all around the startpoint, in my game at least.

You can make purified water using bleach, if you can figure out how to make that. It becomes a much more reliable way to keep your water level up than bladderfish.

You have a few options for water.

Cooked fish and most edible plants give between +2 and +5 water when fresh, but they decay rapidly. Outliers go up to +10 on fish and +12 on plants.

Filtered water is +20, and can be crafted 1 for 1 from bladderfish. There's no evidence that overfishing is a serious concern, but you can easily end up spending a lot of time hunting the fish down.

Disinfected water is +30, and is made 2 for 1 from bleach (meaning each bleach makes 2 bottles). The recipe for bleach is easy enough that filling a locker with water bottles is easy, but one of the resources is NOT unlimited.

Large filtered water is +50 and is made by a dedicated desalinization machine, which has a couple places to find its blueprint. It requires a heavy power infrastructure, but two of these will end your water issue forever.
