Cooked Fish Ingredients
To make Cooked Fish, all you need to do is obtain Raw Fish through fishing. Fishing can be done at almost any body of water in the game. When fishing, it's recommended to cast your Fishing Rod along the shore, with a casting distance of 20 to 25 meters. This increases your chances of catching fish.

Fishing might demand some of your time, but it can pay off in the long run, especially if you save some fish for crafting Fish Wraps, a more advanced food item in Valheim.
How to Prepare Cooked Fish
Once you have gathered Raw Fish through fishing, head over to your Cooking Station and interact with it to begin the cooking process.

It takes approximately 25 seconds to cook each piece of Raw Fish, and this duration applies to each fish you place on the Cooking Station.

Therefore, if you start cooking multiple fish at different times, they will have varying timers. The Raw fish should be cooked on the cooking station upon the fire.

Conclusion
Cooking fish in Valheim is a simple yet essential skill to master. The health and stamina benefits of Cooked Fish can greatly aid your Viking's survival, especially in the early stages of the game. So, cast your line, catch some fish, and enjoy the delicious and nourishing Cooked Fish.
