How to Use Fish in Genshin Impact
You can use the fish you catch in various ways:
Cooking
You can process excess fish through Genshin Impact's cooking mechanism to produce usable fish cooking items. These items can provide various buffs and effects when consumed.
Serenitea Pot
You can display Ornamental fish in your Serenitea Pot using the Furnishing, "Pool of Sapphire Grace." Ornamental fish are indicated by those that leap while in Fishing Points.
Trading with Fishing Associations
You can trade fish with Fishing Associations in each region for rewards, such as new fishing rods. These rods offer different effects when used. For example, the Windtangler from the Mondstadt Fishing Association shortens the time fish struggle as long as you stay within the Ideal Tension Zone.
With all the fish available in Genshin Impact, you'll have plenty to keep in your Serenitea Pot, process for cooking resources, or trade for valuable rewards. Happy fishing!
