I do have to say the fish cooking is quite disappointing where it is only raw fish :(

I think fish cooking really needs some love. I really haven't had a motivation to fish at all because even after filling 3 chests with 4-5 different kinds of fish by scooping them off the land or my boat I can still only make cooked fish which is a very low tier food. Its less useful than deer stew iirc and you get that in abundance in the meadows and black forest.

I was really hoping that larger high quality fish needed the iron cooking rack to cook like serpent meat. I was disappointed to find that isn't the case.

I'm not sure if this ever changes, but I think there needs to be a better use for fish at the swamp level or at the very least the mountains. Something on par with sausages or wolf skewers.
