I don't think fishing in games is for me though. I've tried it a few times, but unless there's a clear benefit to it, I doubt I'll put much time into it.

Fish wraps are still fine. You can get more raw fish per fish you caught. The only real downside is that you can no longer cook raw fish on a campfire, which seems nonsensical to many of us. But before the update fishing was such a chore that you wouldn't be doing too much of that anyway.

You don't need to get into fishing now if you didn't do it previously. With each update, there may be new food recipes introduced, so keep an eye out for those.

I'll likely fish a bit to get recipes and unlock things, but there's quite a few different fishes now that are unlocked in by certain things, and a fishing skill too. I think it will take some effort to progress in this fishing feature, which is why I wonder if it's to be viewed primarily as a collector thing with a side dish, or something more integrated, maybe not required, but with enough benefits to draw the non-collectors in.
