How to get	Fishing in The Deep at The Shores (Fishing level 28, Squid Bait, Wooden Raft)

Swordfish is the fifth and highest tier of Kintara's five fish, caught only in The Deep — the raft-only water in the far south-east corner of the ocean at The Shores. Cooking it converts it to Cooked Swordfish, the strongest fish heal in the game at 25 HP — or, on a failed cook, to Burnt Swordfish, which is junk.

Catching

Requirement	Value
Location	The Deep (The Shores, far south-east water)
Fishing level	28
Bait	Squid Bait
Rod	Level 2 Fishing Rod
Also needed	Wooden Raft — The Deep is beyond casting range from land, so you must cast while afloat
Catch XP	145

The Deep runs 2 live fishing spots of its own. Casts there also roll the water's bonus drops — the Orca Mount, the Waterlogged Crate, the Sunken Treasure Map and Silver Ore dredges — see The Deep for the full table.

Cooking

Result	Effect	Cooking XP
Cooked Swordfish	Heals 25 HP	145
Burnt Swordfish	No heal, no XP, junk item	0

Cooking Swordfish requires Cooking level 28. Cooking any fish is a roll against your Cooking level — the burn chance starts at 30% (level 5 and below) and slides down toward, but never reaches, 0% (5% at level 40). The Roast Pit shows your exact current burn chance.
