Cooked Cod at a glance

Food holds Cooked Cod: a food item out of smelting (Furnace, Smoker, Campfire). A single slot takes 64 Cooked Cod, a hotbar row 576, and 3456 fill a double chest. It is worth 5 hunger and 6 saturation, which reads as 2.5 drumsticks.

Restoring 5 hunger and 6 saturation, Cooked Cod keeps your hunger bar topped up so natural health regeneration can continue, and the 6 is the part that decides how long it takes before you reach for Cooked Cod again. Generated chests only ever hold Cooked Cod in one place: buried treasure (about 75%, 2 to 4 at a time). It sits between Cooked Chicken and Cooked Mutton in Food, number 11 of 37 there.

Cooking

Put Raw Cod in a smoker, a furnace or a campfire and out comes Cooked Cod. A smoker does one in 5 seconds, a campfire needs 30. Each Cooked Cod hands back 0.35 experience, and 64 Cooked Cod make 22.4. Cooking multiplies what you get: 2.5 times the hunger of Raw Cod and 15 times the saturation.

Mobs that drop it

Polar Bear, Cod, Dolphin, Elder Guardian, and Guardian drop Cooked Cod only while burning, so it takes Fire Aspect or a fire underneath to get it straight from the mob.

Eating

4 helpings clear an empty hunger bar, at 1.6 seconds each, which is 6.4 seconds before Cooked Cod has done the job. Per point of hunger you get 1.2 saturation out of Cooked Cod, and saturation is what drains before hunger does. Number 15 of 37 for saturation: Bread at 6 does better, Pumpkin Pie at 4.8 does worse.

Notes

Cooked in a Furnace, Smoker, or Campfire.

Cooked cod restores five hunger, and cod is the fish you catch most often with a plain rod. Between fishing and ocean spawns it is effectively unlimited, and cooking it in a smoker doubles the speed of turning a catch into a meal.
