InValheim, players can cook up several different kinds of meals to add to their health and stamina pools. Some of thebest food combinations inValheimare made from some difficult raw food to find, including fish. But some clever players have come up with a speedier way to nab up more fish for their Viking’s stomachs.
Fishing in Valheim
Fishing inValheimis both time-consuming and relies on players finding the trader as quickly as possible. Since players cannot fish without the fishing pole, which is only available from the Trader, they will need to travel around their map in hopes of finding him. However, there is another way. A clever Reddit user, u/VincentNacon, has come up with a very detailed plan for catching large amounts of fish without bothering with the Trader or the fishing pole.

Starting the Trap
In order to get started, players will have to have a basic building hammer, some wood, and a little ocean-front property to get the fish trap started. The best places to build these would be ocean-connectedValheimMeadows where flint can be farmed; the aggressive NPCs won’t be as dangerous as some of the other locations players can build in.
Here are the first steps; the 1x1 tile exploits the fish’s inability to back up by trapping it inside of the tiny space, not giving it room to turn around.
While players cannot pick up fish while swimming, they can direct the fish by scaring them in the right direction. In order to do this, players will need plenty of stamina and a funnel that they can startle the fish into swimming into.
This speeds up the fishing process inValheimexponentially, allowing players to catch large amounts of fish in a short period of time. They also no longer have to worry about purchasing bait from the Trader; the fishing pole is not needed at all to get this clever little trap to work.
While this might not be one of themost impressive structures ever built inValheim, it may be one of the most useful ones. This ingenious setup is the only way to get fish meat in bulk, allowing players to create one of the best foods in the game: the fish wrap. This food is not available until late game, as it requires barley flour which can only be obtained from the Plains biome, but it has some fantastic stats.
Made in the cauldron, Fish wraps are created from two Cooked fish and four Barley flour. Here are its stats:
