Catfish

General

Consumable properties

A catfish can be eaten raw, which will provide the player with some positive effects, or improved by cooking. However, these will become negative the longer it's left to perish.

A catfish can be used in various cooking recipes.

Cooking

The loot distributions can be found in the table(s) below.

Catfish distributionShow / Hide

Effective chance calculations are based off of default 'apocalypse' loot settings, with no luck modifier, and average zombie density. The higher the density of zombies in an area, the higher the effective chance of an item spawning. Chance is also influenced by the lucky and unlucky traits. Duplicate entries do exist, but have been removed for clarity.

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.

The Rotten Uncooked and Cooked models have no texture. When placed in-game, they are shown as a checkered red-white model instead.
