Whether you are looking for the Grilled Fish recipe in Fallout 76 or want to know how to cook it, its buffs, and the different stats it offers, I’ve got you covered with this guide.
Grilled Fish is one of newly added food items that players need for completing challenges and for buffs that help with fishing activity.
That said, I have seen some players who mention they don’t know about Grilled Fish Recipe or how to get it while some fail to cook it.
Seeing that, I prepared this detailed guide covering everything you need to know about Grilled Fish Recipe, the food item itself, its stats, buffs and such things in Fallout 76.
Fallout 76 Cook Grilled Fish (0/2) daily challenge

As I mentioned earlier, most of the time, you will want to make the Grilled Fish food item in Fallout 76 to complete the Daily Challenge, where you are required to cook two Grilled Fish.
Doing so, you get 250 S.C.O.R.E that helps you level up your battle pass, aka seasonal S.C.O.R.E Board.
Fallout 76 Grilled Fish stats and buffs

Here’s a look at Grilled Fish stats in Fallout 76:
- Rads – 0
- HP – 40
- Food – 20%
- Weight – 1 kg
- Stack Weight – 2
- Value – 25 Caps

Consuming the Grilled Fish in the game gives you a special buff, “+1.60HP(20s) and Reduced Time To Hook(20m).”
While the HP gain is not that significant, the latter buff, reduced time to hook, is really helpful.
Especially for players who love fishing (I don’t, I hate fishing!)
How to get the Grilled Fish recipe in Fallout 76

In Fallout 76, you can get the Grilled Fish Recipe by completing the fishing introductory quest, Casting Off!
I already have a detailed walkthrough guide for the Casting Off quest. Check it out for more details.

As you can see in the above screenshot, you get the Grilled Fish Recipe as a quest reward.
That being said, the chance of getting the Grilled Fish Recipe from the quest is 100%.
Still, I know, some players might mistakenly sell their Grilled Fish Recipe (it’s not tradeable) or might have dropped it.

For those, head to the Fisherman’s Rest POI.
Use the Trade option with The Fisherman NPC.

If you don’t have the Grilled Fish Recipe on you and haven’t learned it yet, you will find The Fisherman selling the Grilled Fish Recipe.
In my case, since I already had the recipe learned, it wasn’t have it in the shop menu.
How to cook Grilled Fish in Fallout 76

To cook Grilled Fish in Fallout 76, you need the following ingredients:
- Fish Baits 0/3
- Salt 0/2
- Wood 0/1
Making Fish Bits

You can make Fish Bits using any Fish that you capture during the fishing activity.

Capture fish as per your requirement and head to a cooking station.
Select the Fish Bits option and cook the respective Fish Bits. [Any can be used for making Grilled Fish.]
Finding Salts

You can find Salt all around Appalachia! Some easy to find spawns include The General’s Steakhouse and Moth-Home.

Head to The General’s Steakhouse and make your way to the first floor room through the broken wall.
You will find a Salt on the table.


Head to the basement area to find the main kitchen.
In it, you will find a few more Salt.

You can find Salt at Moth-House on lower level as you can see in the above screenshot.

Once you have collected all ingredients, head to any cooking station and make Grilled Fish to complete challenge or for using it’s buff.
