Let's dive in!

Ready Your Cooking Stations

First things first, you need a Stove and a Prep Station. Do you have them ready? Excellent! It's ideal if you can arrange a dedicated kitchen space where you can also store additional Stoves and Prep Stations if need be. This step not only neatens up your cooking process but also presents an opportunity to increase your in-game income with simultaneous cooking sessions. Remember, an organized kitchen is the secret to efficient cooking!

Lure in Your Recipe

Now, let's catch ourselves the Fish Stew recipe. Wondering where to get it? Just head to the scenic Bahari Bay coast. But remember to take a worm along with you for a spot of fishing. This is where you will land with the Fish Stew recipe. Who knew fishing would be fruitful in such ways?

Gather the Ingredients

Once the recipe is in your possession, it's time to gather the essential ingredients. What you'll need includes:

• Any Fish (1 piece)
• Any Spice (1 dash)
• Wild Garlic (1 bulb)

With these simple ingredients in hand, you're all set to whip up three servings of Fish Stew. Yum!

Chop, Stir, and Cook Your Way to Fish Stew!

Now comes the exciting part: actually crafting your Fish Stew. To start off, approach the Stove, and once you select the Fish Stew from the list of dishes, you're set to go. Remember, every ingredient must be in your inventory to proceed.

Upon starting, you are given 60 seconds to:

1. Go to the Prep Station and choose 'Chopped Garlic' from the list.
2. Press the 'Make' button and follow the prompt to chop along the indicated blue lines – totaling in 7 cuts.
3. Head back to the Stove, add the ingredients you've prepped, and stir the mix while holding down the left mouse button.

And voila! Three bowls of warm, delicious Fish Stew are ready to be savored!
