Raw Salmon at a glance

Fishing, killing salmon, and killing guardians and elder guardians give you Raw Salmon, a food item filed under Food. Carrying Raw Salmon is cheap: 64 to a slot, 576 across the hotbar, 1728 in a chest. Hunger goes up 2 and saturation 0.4 when you eat Raw Salmon, so 1 drumstick a time.

Restoring 2 hunger and 0.4 saturation, Raw Salmon keeps your hunger bar topped up so natural health regeneration can continue, and the 0.4 is the part that decides how long it takes before you reach for Raw Salmon again. It additionally serves as a crafting ingredient for Cooked Salmon. It sits between Raw Rabbit and Rotten Flesh in Food, number 32 of 37 there.
