How to make Raw Fish in Minecraft

This Minecraft tutorial explains how to craft raw fish with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, raw fish is a food item that you can not make with a crafting table or furnace. Instead, you need to find and gather this item in the game.

TIP: Starting in the Aquatic Update, raw fish is replaced by raw cod in the game.

How to get Raw Fish in Survival Mode

You can add raw fish to your inventory in Survival mode by catching a fish with a fishing rod. So let's get started!

1. Hold the Fishing Rod

Once you've found a large body of water, select the fishing rod in your hotbar.

2. Cast the Fishing Line

Next, you need to cast your fishing line into the water. The game control to use the fishing rod to cast into the water depends on the version of Minecraft:

For Java Edition (PC/Mac), right click to cast the fishing line.
For Pocket Edition (PE), you tap the Fish button.
For Xbox 360 and Xbox One, press the LT button on the Xbox controller.
For PS3 and PS4, press the L2 button on the PS controller.
For Wii U, press the ZL button on the gamepad.
For Nintendo Switch, press the ZL button on the controller.

For Education Edition, right click to cast the fishing line.

Now once you've casted your fishing line into the water, you should see the fishing line extend into the water and at the end is a bobber or float.

3. Wait for a Fish to Bite

Very soon, you should start to see bubbles start pop out of the water from the fish swimming. If you wait patiently, the bubbles will get closer to your fishing line and then the bobber should get pulled under the water.

4. Reel in the Fishing Line

Now for the next step, you have to be very quick! As soon as the bobber goes under the water, you have to reel back in your fishing line.
