Do you guys eat food while fishing?

I don't know much about food effects. I've read a lot of posts.
I think I understand the basic concept.

Are there any food good for Fishing?
Should I try to find DEX food? (DEX is low. PIE is high.)

Just curious if anyone is munching and what it is they might have.

I've never eaten food for gathering, although i will likely test some out with bot and mine, but with fishing already at 50...i doubt a bit more "Gathering" stat is going to impact me.

However, Cooked Vegie dishes offer increases to the Gathering stat.

(13) Spinach Saute
Ice: 23 Mnd: 28/29

(15) Jack-o'-lantern
Ice: 25 Mnd: 31/32

(16) Roasted Nopales
Ice: 26 Mnd: 32/33

(35) Sauerkraut
Ice: 45 Mnd: 57/58

(45) Tomato Pie
Ice: 55 Mnd: 70/71


I've had some guildmates who have me make up Sauerkraut for them (great R30-35 cooking synth too) for their gathering sessions. At lower levels when you are trying to fish from higher waters i can see this helping a lot (As gathering slows down the depletion on the Remainder bar).

I use Buffalo Milk, for Perfecption, to help with HQ chance.

Can't beat the price/effort to acquire, and I have zero need for help with the depletion guage (Gathering stat).

I used tomato pie (Gathering) for ages, since i had heaps of it. Now if i go on proper fishing trips I eat Orobon stew (Output).

Food doesn't make a very big boost yet sadly though.

Alright. Sorry, I didn't post again for a while.

I been tracking this thread but too busy fishing to post.

Thanks for your input. I may level Culinary after I cap off Alchemist.
It gives me something to think about.

Also - I knew an Areia in XI on Quetzalcoatl.

I actually don't use food but maybe I should consider finding some.

I know we have some information on how to use foods but it is still a bit obscure to me as I have not yet tried it out.
