Characteristics
Overview
A Yellow Perch, commonly found in freshwater rivers.
Rivers, not the sea. Its own text places the yellow perch in freshwater rivers, which makes it the fish for whoever built in the middle of the map, a long way from any beach or pier.
There is a quieter reason to fish for it, too. Hunting usually means a fight, and gunshots tell every roamer nearby where you are. A handmade fishing rod and a few worms make no such noise. Say a big clan lives two grids away and you would rather they forgot about you: sit on the bank below your walls, pull up a few perch, and nobody hears dinner being made.
Ten whole fish fit in a slot. Gut them with a knife into raw fish before the walk back, then choose between the fire for tonight and a fish pie at the Cooking Workbench, which its own text says lifts base comfort for a short time.
