Tropical Fish at a glance
Tropical Fish, a food item out of fishing, killing tropical fish, and killing guardians and elder guardians, sits under Food. A single slot takes 64 Tropical Fish, a hotbar row 576, and 3456 fill a double chest. Hunger goes up 1 and saturation 0.2 when you eat Tropical Fish, so 0.5 drumsticks a time.
1 hunger back per Tropical Fish keeps natural regeneration running, and the 0.2 saturation behind it is what buys you the time until the next meal, rather longer than the hunger number on its own suggests. It closes the Food list, straight after Sweet Berries, 37 entries in all.

Mobs that drop it
Killing a Tropical Fish leaves 1 behind.
Eating
20 helpings clear an empty hunger bar, at 1.6 seconds each, which is 32 seconds before Tropical Fish has done the job. The saturation behind each point is 0.2, so Tropical Fish holds the bar steady that much longer after the meal. Nothing restores less than Tropical Fish: even Pufferfish at 0.2 does better.
Notes
Cannot be cooked. Used to tame ocelots, breed axolotls, and feed dolphins.
