Stardew Valley/ The workshop
Fish Smoker Planner.
A better use for every piece of coal. Pick what to smoke, what to sell, and what to keep.
01 / The ingredients
Your catch
Add a row for each fish and quality. Set aside gifts, bundles and fish-pond stock in Keep.
70 fish · including crab-pot catches and Legendary Fish II. Seaweed, algae and Clam are excluded.
02 / Your setup
Coal & professions
Angler replaces Fisher’s bonus; they are not added together. Coal found while mining still has other uses.
The next step
Your smoking order
See every fish’s price and allocation
| Fish / quality | Raw each | Smoked each | Extra after coal | Smoke | Sell raw | Keep |
|---|
Know what goes into the number
Small details. Honest totals.
Only smoke when it pays
Each fish uses one coal. We allocate it by the extra gold earned after coal, stopping when the next fish would break even or lose money. Your reserved fish stay untouched.
Round like the pricing code
Prices start from each fish’s base value. Quality is applied before professions; the raw and smoked prices are rounded separately. We preserve the 1.6 model’s single-precision behaviour, including occasional 1g differences.

Data, sources & supported settings
Checked 2026-10-21. This planner covers unmodded 1.6 pricing, one player’s professions and the normal 100% profit margin. Multiplayer shared-wallet profession selection, reduced profit margins and mods are outside this version’s scope. It is a code-derived model checked against published price tables, not a claim of an in-game test.
The smoker doubles the fish’s base value and preserves quality. Artisan is applied only to the smoked product. Quality-stage truncation and the final C# float calculation are reproduced independently; multiplying a displayed raw price by 2.8 can give the wrong answer.

Each smoke takes 50 in-game minutes. This plan optimizes your coal allocation, not machine scheduling, overnight processing or how quickly you can reload. Keep irreplaceable Legendary Fish unless you deliberately intend to sell them.
