Raw Salmon

Raw salmon is a food item that can be eaten by the player or cooked to make cooked salmon.

Obtaining[]

Mob loot[]

Salmon[]

Salmon always drops 1 raw salmon when killed, unaffected by Looting.^[1] If it is killed while on fire, it drops 1 cooked salmon instead.

Guardians and elder guardians[]

Guardians and elder guardians have a 2.5% chance to drop a random fish, with 25% of them being raw salmon, which drops as cooked if the guardian was on fire. The chance of getting the fish drop is increased by 1% per level with Looting (for a maximum of 5.5% with Looting III), but the type of fish is not affected.

Polar bears[]

Polar bears have a 25% chance of dropping 0–2 raw salmon when killed. The maximum amount can be increased by 1 per level of Looting, for a maximum of 0-5 with Looting III. If killed while on fire, they drop cooked salmon instead.

Fishing[]

Raw salmon can be obtained from fishing. The wait time of one being caught is decreased with the Lure enchantment and the chance of one being caught is slightly decreased with the Luck of the Sea enchantment (named as such because it increases treasure, not fish).

Catching salmon awards 1-6 experience.

Raw salmon can be used to gain ocelot trust, breed ocelots, and make baby ocelots grow up by 10%.

Dolphins[]

A dolphin can be fed raw salmon to increase its trust of the player and cause it to interact with the player more often. However, unlike most other animal mobs, this does not cause them to breed.

Additionally, dolphins swim to the nearest chest in a shipwreck or underwater ruin after they are fed raw salmon. If the chest in the nearest structure is broken, they swim to another structure with a chest.

Trading[]

Journeyman-level Fisherman villagers offer to buy 13 raw salmon for an emerald.

Wolves[]

In Bedrock Edition, raw salmon can be fed only to wolves not at full health, healing them by 2. Unlike other wolf food, raw salmon cannot be used to breed wolves or to accelerate the growth of baby wolves.
