How to Complete Farmer's Advice

How to Cook Fish

In our playthrough, we moved a Shimmerfin from the backpack to the action bar and held it.

The Journal tells you to cook the fish at the campfire. In our playthrough, the prompt E Cook appeared at a fire inside a building at our base, and we sat down in front of it.

Sitting at a fire with a Shimmerfin in hand and the prompts Hold to cook and Throw, with the fish in the action bar marked by a box and an arrow pointing to the fire

When you sit down, the prompts are Hold to cook and Throw, both shown with the left mouse button. Hold the left mouse button to cook, and the prompt changes to Release to finish.

In our playthrough, we held the button for about 6 seconds. When we let go, a Grilled Shimmerfin notice appeared, and the grilled fish went into our backpack.

How to Eat the Grilled Fish

The Grilled Shimmerfin is a COMMON consumable. Its item info shows +30 Health, +10 Maximum Oxygen and 15min, and its description says it increases your health and diving time.

To eat it, open your backpack, select the grilled fish and right-click it (Actions). A menu with Use Item, Split Stack and Delete appears. Choose Use Item.
