Raw Prime Fish Meat is a food item in ARK: Survival Evolved.

Harvesting

It can be harvested from:

•  Alpha Megalodon
•  Alpha Tusoteuthis
•  Dunkleosteus
•  Leedsichthys
•  Megalodon
•  Sabertooth Salmon
•  Tusoteuthis

It can also be obtained by fishing.

Usage

Raw Prime Fish Meat can be used in taming certain carnivorous dinosaurs, but with a lower efficiency than regular  Raw Prime Meat. However, when taming  Baryonyx,  Ichthyornis or  Pelagornis, Raw Prime Fish Meat has the same efficiency as Raw Prime Meat, and in fact must be used over its normal meat counterpart. Also creatures like  Spino or  Sarco prefers Raw Prime Fish Meat over regular Raw Prime Meat when they are on its taming process, and also they get more taming efficiency per bite. Raw prime fish meat is cooked over a  Campfire for a period of 20 seconds.

Gathering

Raw Prime Fish Meat can be effectively gathered using a metal sickle.

A Moschops with harvesting levels put into Prime Fish Meat can harvest large quantities of prime from Leedsichthys.

Notes/Trivia

• There is currently a bug on Xbox One preventing players from collecting raw prime fish meat on many mounted dinos. Though it is still possible by using a sword, sickle or metal pick.
• Unlike other rare drops which drop more frequently when harvested by a pick, a hatchet is more effective in cutting prime fish meat from a dead shark or Dunkleosteus.
• Raw Prime Fish Meat resembles the sashimi fish meat, which can be eaten safely in both real-life and game as long as it is fresh (less harmful than other raw meat counterpart).
• Alternatively, a  Chainsaw is very good tool to get a lot of prime fish, however it cannot be used underwater, this can be solved by using an  Ichthyornis that brings you fish corpses to land and then use the chainsaw.
