This type of cook combines fishing skill and cooking skill to specialize food dishes prepared using the fish caught at sea. The skill requirements and recipe requirements are much more extensive than other methods, but it does offer a different playing style.
It is essential to first change your job into a Chef from a job changing quest in Stockholm, requirements are level 5 cooking, 3000 trade fame. The quest is relatively easy to complete, simply hand in 200 Wine Steamed Cod, which can be purchased from the Clerk in Amsterdam.
If you do not have enough fame, ask a friend to help you out.
Level 1 - 5
Use the methods described in both the Portuguese and Dutch section above to reach level 5.
Level 5 - 7
(Wine + Halibut >>> Wine Steamed Halibut or Salt + Lumber + Herring >>> Smoked Herring; Wine + Cod >>> Wine steamed Cod)
Path A.
Camp on the sea outside Bordeaux, using the recipe Seafarer’s food from Lisbon, purchase Wine from Bordeaux, catch Halibut outside of Bordeaux and make Wine Steamed Halibut. If you catch other fish use storage to make Fish
Path B.
Stock up on Wine from either Seville; Porto or Bordeaux. Travel to Bergen and camp on the sea outside Bergen, using the North Sea Seafood recipe from London, purchase Salt and Lumber from Bergen, and if you catch Herring, make Smoked Herring with Salt and Lumber. If you catch Cod, make Wine steamed Cod. Use storage to turn all other fish into Fish
Path A, is closer to Wine exporting ports, but you will get more fishing proficiency and cooking proficiency if you take Path B.
Level 7 - 10
(Salt + Lumber + Herring >>> Smoked Herring; Smoked Herring + Butter >>> Sautéed Smoke Herring)
Stock up on Butter from either London. Travel to Bergen and camp on the sea outside Bergen, using the North Sea Seafood recipe from London, purchase Salt and Lumber from Bergen, and if you catch Herring, make Smoked Herring with Salt and Lumber. Then combine Smoked Herring with Butter to make Sautéed Smoked Herring.
Level 10
(2 x Olive >>> Olive Oil, Olive oil + Salt + Tuna >>> Tuna Steak)
This is what you are waiting for. That dish costs fewer than 500D to make and sells it 15k each. The dish will recover 80 vigor to all of the fleet and reduces fatigue by 48. It's the ideal food for soldiers, and you will never be short of a market.
Travel to Syracuse, buy Olives and Salt. Use the Complete Seasoning Booklet to turn Olives into Olive Oil. The recipe requires Handicraft at level 2, an easy way to get to level 2, is to purchase the Medical Preparation Book at Syracuse, travel to Naples, go outside, use either Search; Collection, or Procurement skill to gather Grass, use the Grass to make Basic Medicine, then returning to Syracuse when you reach level 2 in Handicraft.
Once you have a ship cargo of 50% Olive Oil and 50% Salt, sail to a small island just south east of Syracuse. Use the fishing skill to fish for Tuna (you need level 8 in Fishing) and make Tuna Steak with Olive Oil and Tuna.
Tuna can be fished just outside Syracuse or in the island directly north of Tripoli
This option is not recommended for starting out as a cook and is only really viable when you change into a Chef in Stockholm and have equipped yourself with booster items that add +1 to Fishing and Cooking, as well as a specialist cooking Aide.
