Smoked Fish

Smoked Fish is a cooked food item that can be used as ranch feed for Hatches and Sage Hatches, where it produces Coal. This makes it one of the fish-derived foods with a secondary industrial use, rather than being only a calorie source for Duplicants.

Because it is a finished food item, Smoked Fish can be treated like other edible products in storage and automation chains, but its main practical value is as a way to turn surplus fish food into Coal production. In ranches that already generate fish-based ingredients or cooked seafood, feeding Smoked Fish to Hatches can provide a useful conversion route when direct consumption is less desirable than resource recovery.

• Smoked Fish can be fed to Hatches and Sage Hatches.
• Doing so causes them to produce Coal.
• Its usefulness is therefore tied to both food handling and ranch resource loops.

When planning around it, Smoked Fish is most relevant if your colony has excess cooked fish and wants to convert that surplus into a stable Coal supply.
