A catfish is a perishable food item used in cooking.

Usage

Consumable properties

A catfish can be eaten raw, which can make the player sick. Consuming after being cooked will provide the player with some positive effects, however these will become negative the longer it's left to perish.

Distribution

Fishing

Main article: Fishing

Catfish can be caught using a fishing rod. When caught, they can be small(15cm-25cm), medium(25cm-35cm), or large(35cm-55cm). Catfish are fairly easy to catch, in fact small ones can be caught at low fishing skills with a fishing spear, making it an easily acquired early-game food source if the player is near a large body of water.

Vehicles

Catfish can be found in the bed of a fisherman's truck.
