'''Raw fish''' can be harvested from [[water]]. They can be used to refill a small amount of health instantly. In order to catch raw fish, mine one of the dark spots that can be found moving around in water bodies. Each dark spot yields 5 fish when mined. Fish can be also collected via [[construction robot]]s, by marking a water area that contains fish with a [[deconstruction planner]]. 

Raw fish is used to heal by clicking on the character or anywhere else in the world with the fish in the cursor. They heal 80 HP each and have a short cooldown for reuse, limiting the amount of incoming DPS that fish healing can absorb. Using a fish produces a munching sound.

Using [[landfill]] on water where a fish is swimming will "destroy" the fish. Fish can be shot and killed via [[pistol]] or [[submachine gun]], and also by explosions, but are immune to any kind of [[shotgun]] fire. Shooting fish does not grant any fish items.

Fish are created in water when the world is generated and do not despawn or respawn.

In [[Space Age]]{{SA}}, fish can be automated by breeding them in a [[biochamber]]{{SA}} after unlocking the fish breeding recipe with [[agricultural science pack]]s{{SA}}. Fish breeding can only be conducted on [[Nauvis]]. Fish also are given a [[spoilage]]{{SA}} time of just over 2 hours.

While inserters can remove fish from the water, they cannot put them back. The player can manually return fish to the water in stacks of 5, which resets both the quality and freshness of the fish.

Note that the fish produced by this recipe always have 100% freshness. [[Quality module]]s cannot be used in this recipe.

== Trivia ==
* The fish item icon is meant to represent a [[Wikipedia:en:European perch|European perch]], a freshwater fish widespread in Europe and elsewhere. This was chosen because a perch is the favorite plushie of the artist's daughter, see the [https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/comments/gom295/friday_facts_348_the_final_gui_update/frgl1go/ Reddit comment by V453000]
* Prior to version [[version history/2.0.0#2.0.7|2.0]] it was possible to automate fish by launching [[space science pack]]s with a [[rocket silo]], which would return fish at a 1:1 ratio, to a maximum of 100 fish per launch.
* In Space Age, a base quality fish has a [[spoilage mechanics|spoilage]] time of 2 hours, 5 minutes, and 50 seconds. This equates to 7,550 seconds, or 453,000 [[time#Ticks|game ticks]], which is a reference to developer V453000, the artist behind the fish icon.
