Fishing is a thrilling task in Stardew Valley because every haul you get depends on the season and weather. And upon spending your time capturing a good-quality fish, you might be low in energy already.

If you catch plenty of Tuna during Summer and Winter, you could make a Fish Taco that gives generous healing effects. 

What is a Fish Taco?

It’s a cooked dish rustled up in the kitchen of your upgraded farmhouse or cookout kit. You can also purchase it in these in-game stores:

  • The Stardrop Saloon. You’ll randomly find it in their rotating stock for 1000g.
  • Krobus’ Shop. It’s occasionally sold here on Saturdays for 50g to 500g.
  • Traveling Cart. They sell it for 1500g to 2500g.

This taco regenerates some of your health and energy. It even enhances your fishing skills. Combining it with a Qi Seasoning increases its rejuvenation effects by 80%. You’ll also receive +1 on each buff and +50% on its duration.

Here’s a comprehensive comparison of this dish with and without the add-on:
