Raw Fish

Fish is a food item, which can be obtained by fishing with a Fishing Rod in any body of Water, small or great. Unlike Mobs, they cannot be seen until caught. When using a fishing rod, it is best to fish on land with a large wall behind you, as when you reel the fish in, it flies out of the water and sometimes above your head (happens more often when you are in a Boat as the boat lowers your height).

Fish are cooked in a Furnace, much like Pork, into Grilled Fish. The uncooked fish heals one Heart and the Grilled Fish heals 2.5 hearts.

It is the most reliable fast source of food at the moment, as you do not have to wait for Pigs to spawn or for your Wheat to grow.

Grilled Fish
Grilled Fish is a type of food that is obtained when raw Fish is cooked in a Furnace. Grilled fish is available in Alpha. Like other cookable food, grilled fish takes some monitoring when being cooked as it does not stack and each piece must be taken out and put in individually.
