To unlock fishing initially, you’ll have to speak to Katheryne in Mondstatd and complete the ‘Exploding Population’ quest. This acts as a tutorial for fishing and will unlock future fishing from here. To activate this quest, you’ll have to have unlocked the Serenitea Pot first, by completing the tasks laid out by Madame Ping in Liyue Harbour.
As with harvestable items, fish take three real days to respawn from a fishing spot and require different types of bait or times of the day to spawn. Night-time is measured from 6 pm to 6 am and daytime is measured from 6 am to 6 pm.
- For more information on the Serenitea Pot and what it unlocks, read our Genshin Impact Valberry guide.

Fish recipes in Genshin Impact
Fish are used in 28 recipes, as a by-product of the wild fish you catch throughout Teyvat. This means that by refining the fish as a cooking ingredient, you don’t have to catch a specific fish for a dish. Refining ingredients can be done by navigating the cooking menu at a campfire. Refining food takes real-time to achieve, or you can buy the ingredients you need from various merchants in Teyvat.
Refining fish can sometimes yield multiple quantities depending on the initial fish used for the process. Each dish has a distinct buff which usually helps recover HP. This makes fishing worth a try as it can be an effective way to build up an inventory of cooked dishes that will heal your party in a pinch.
