Yes, fish is good in that swords and lobsters can sell on free worlds so they are the premier food currency for nonj elite cooks. Sharks are famous but expensive, but tuna potaotoes are the best food in the game (heal 22 in one bite). THey are a hassle to cook, cook the potatoes,get butter, add butter, cook corn, put corn in bowl, add tuna to corn, and then add bowl to buttered potatotes. But they do heal better than sharks, have no chance of burning at final stage of prep, and do not require 80 cooking to cook them. I usually have at least 50 in the bank. Pinapple pizza store as many hit points as tuna potatoes, and are much easier to make. They however heal 2 x 11 instead of 1 x 22. Now, look at brewing and specail pies. Brewing specialty ales is a nice addition. Their effect is temporary, but they do makea difference. Also, the garden pies can be made at a fairly low level and add 3 to farm level, 2 bites each. Cooking is alive and well in my opinion. For f2p, anchovie pizza still beats swords for all purposes other than needing big heals fast. RSN Ironin Bored
