Cooked Cod
Cooked Cod is a renewable Minecraft food that restores 5 hunger and 6 saturation, made by cooking Raw Cod in a furnace, smoker, or campfire.
Description
Cooked Cod is not used as a crafting ingredient in any recipe, so the entire output goes straight to the hotbar for eating. A Fisherman villager at Novice level offers a 50% chance to trade 6 Raw Cod plus 1 Emerald for 6 Cooked Cod, a convenient shortcut when fuel is scarce. Buried Treasure chests also hold 2 to 4 Cooked Cod at a 75% spawn rate. Any cod killed by fire or by a weapon with the Fire Aspect enchantment drops Cooked Cod rather than Raw Cod. For players exploring ocean monuments or trading with villagers, Cooked Cod outperforms raw fish on saturation per bite and is a dependable early-game staple alongside bread and cooked meat.

Guide
How to get Cooked Cod in Minecraft
-
1
Gather Raw Cod
Fish for cod or kill cod mobs in cold, lukewarm, and normal oceans to collect Raw Cod, the single ingredient needed for Cooked Cod.
-
2
Choose a heat source
Place a furnace, smoker, or campfire as the cooking station; the smoker finishes each Cooked Cod twice as fast as a furnace, while the campfire needs no fuel beyond wood.
-
3
Add fuel
Drop coal, charcoal, wood, or lava buckets into the furnace or smoker fuel slot so the cooking timer runs until one Raw Cod becomes one Cooked Cod.
-
4
Trade for Cooked Cod
Find a Novice-level Fisherman villager and use the 50% chance trade of 6 Raw Cod plus 1 Emerald for 6 Cooked Cod when fuel runs low.
-
5
Loot alternative sources
Open Buried Treasure chests for 2 to 4 Cooked Cod at a 75% spawn rate, or kill cod with fire or the Fire Aspect enchantment to make them drop Cooked Cod directly.
The smoker cooks food twice as fast as a furnace, so reserve a smoker for fish and meat while leaving the furnace for ores.

Frequently asked questions
How do you cook Cooked Cod in Minecraft?
Place Raw Cod in the top slot of a furnace, smoker, or campfire and add fuel like coal, charcoal, or wood to the lower slot. Each Raw Cod turns into one Cooked Cod, and the smoker cooks it twice as fast as the furnace.
How much hunger does Cooked Cod restore?
Cooked Cod restores 5 hunger points and 6 saturation, which is more efficient per bite than Raw Cod and makes Cooked Cod a reliable staple food early in a survival world.
Is Cooked Cod renewable in Minecraft?
Yes, Cooked Cod is renewable because Raw Cod is a reliable drop from cod fish mobs that spawn in cold, lukewarm, and normal oceans, and cooking can be repeated indefinitely with renewable fuel such as charcoal or wood.
Can you buy Cooked Cod from villagers?
A Novice-level Fisherman villager has a 50% chance to offer the trade of 6 Raw Cod plus 1 Emerald in exchange for 6 Cooked Cod, a convenient option when fuel is scarce.
Does Fire Aspect make cod drop Cooked Cod?
Yes, when a cod is killed by direct fire or a weapon with the Fire Aspect enchantment, the cod drops 1 Cooked Cod instead of Raw Cod. Polar bears, dolphins, guardians, and elder guardians killed by fire can also drop Cooked Cod.
What is the difference between Cooked Cod and Cooked Salmon?
Cooked Cod and Cooked Salmon restore the same 5 hunger and 6 saturation, but Cooked Cod comes from Raw Cod found in cold, lukewarm, and normal oceans, while Cooked Salmon comes from Raw Salmon found in those same oceans and is a separate item that also stacks to 64.
