There are many ways to keep a player's cowboy in Red Dead Redemption 2 well-fed by eating different types of food, including Flaky Fish. Players can eat any food they happen to scavenge, any large game that the player manages to bring down with their bow or guns, and even fish they capture using a fishing rod. Fishing is an enjoyable and easy method of acquiring food.

Once players catch a fish, they must ensure it's cooked before eating it. The game's in-game crafting method is straightforward to use as long as players are sitting around a campfire. They need to ensure they have the right materials or, in this case, Fish in their inventory before selecting a recipe at the fire. This guide will show players how to craft Flaky Fish in Red Dead Redemption 2.
