you already answered it. Black forest era, cooked fish (not wraps yet) is one of the best things you can get, and you can get it in bulk, and long before you ever see a wolf.
I went out yesterday for fish, one set of stamina food buffs running and fished until those wore off. I got just over 100 units in 20 min using about half that (50) units of bait which costs next to nothing. That will last me weeks IRL time. There is no way hunting boar is that fast, and deer meat is about useless unless you just started.

If you hate fishing but want the food, you can make fish traps. One they are on the shore you can pick them up. Basically you just make a long running lip on the shore so they get in when the waves roll in and get stuck on the way back out.

Where are u fishing my dude ? i have bad luck with them :/ so far caught a tuna and some regular fish. in like an hour of fishing :D

well, practice / skill helps. I was fishing off my dock near my home, which has a lot more fish than most sites.
lets see if I can get you up to speed...
- the most important things are high stamina food (100+ is a big help) and a fish rich area (you can see more than 10 from the shore).
- you want tuna, because 4 per catch, so you want to find or make a site that lets you get to some deeper water.
- you do not need to wait on the 'caught a fish' noise. If the fish is near the lure, it will be hooked if you pull. Its a rather small radius, but practice...
- you can pick them off the line without reeling the whole way in. You can even use the same bait again if you can get it off with enough left to still be in the water. That is usually not practical.
- multiple fish will chase the lure even if you hooked something. You can catch them by picking them up if they get beached, so a sloped shore helps a lot.
- aim at the fish with your casts. If you can put the lure right next to them, you can just catch them without waiting. If not, the closer you get, the sooner it will be hit. Here again, practice.

Honestly a lot of my practice was in other games, it works very like most MMO fishing like wow, lotro, etc. Wife wanted every trophy in LOTRO so we fished, and fished, and fished....
