Raw Fish

Raw Fish is a food item that can be obtained by fishing with a Fishing Rod in any body of water. Unlike Mobs, fish cannot be seen in the water until caught. Fish are the most reliable fast source of food at the moment, as the player need not wait for pigs to spawn or till the land and wait for planted crops to grow. For the most productive fishing, cast into the water with a large wall at your back - when fish are reeled in, they can fly out of the water and overhead back into the water, especially if you are fishing from a boat.

Like Pork, raw fish can be placed in a furnace to produce cooked fish, for a 150% improved healing potential (raw fish heals and cooked fish heals ).
