Stranded Deep is one of the popular survival games in recent years, where players have to survive on an island after their airplane crashed down in the Pacific Ocean. One of the mutual mechanisms in almost all survival games is to find something to eat so you don’t die from starvation. In the case of Stranded Deep, fishing is one of the best options, and here is how to cook fish in the game.
How to Cook Fish in Stranded Deep
Since you are left alone on an island, it would seem obvious that getting fish and cooking it would be one of the many options you can choose to survive. The first step of cooking fish in the game is to find one first.
To get a fish in Stranded Deep, you need to make some sort of tool to catch a fish like a spear. Then it is time to make yourself a raft so you can go deeper in the ocean and increase your chances of catching a fish in the game. But always be careful with sharks that might attack you at any moment.
After you get into the ocean and catch yourself some fish, come back to the shore and drop a fish that you have caught recently. Then select a knife from your inventory that you also have to make separately, if you don’t have one already.
After selecting the knife, use the action button to gut out the fish and make it ready to cook. Then it is time to create a fire pit and use it to fish cook and save yourself from starvation.

There is also an alternate way to cook a fish without using a knife. This method requires building a smoker, which allows players to cook a lot of meat, including fish, all at once. This way you can also save some for later, in case you were in a situation where you couldn’t make a fire to cook one.
Stranded Deep is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch.
