Why You Will Be Fishing All Day in Battle for Azeroth
Fish are gold in Battle for Azeroth
Whenever you have ten minutes of ‘down time’ in BfA, you will be fishing
Vendor Fish
The Burning Crusade Warcraft Veterans will remember this fish:

Good News, expensive vendor fish are back! 50g each this time.
U’taka are fished from schools that spawn near Dazar’alor
Rasboralus look as if they spawn from similar schools in Proudmoore Keep, Boralus.
Battle for Azeroth Fish in Cooking
Right now on the BfA Beta, Cooking is behaving oddly.
In order to cook low level food, you need fish in two ways
- Fish in raw fished up form as straight cooking mats
- Aromatic Fish Oil, created by using a fish.
Great Sea Catfish. Use to create oil.
Aromatic Fish Oil cooking ingredient
Grilled Catfish requires raw Great Sea Catfish
Aromatic Fish Oil, Sugar, and Honey!?
How Cooking Affects BfA Fishing
With fish being required in double amounts, once for fish flesh, and once for fish oil, fish will be in double demand.
Gold Makers know what happens to the price of an item when the demand doubles.
Here comes the tweetable!

Battle for Azeroth Fishing, the Early Days
That said, I do have some advice for you in your first few Battle for Azeroth days:
Save your [Frenied Fangtooth] for later in the game, and the raiding [Bountiful Captain’s Feast] food.
Fish your [Lane Snapper] up immediately and use them to cook [Spiced Snapper] to level up your cooking.
Underlight Angler
Game Director Ion Hazzikostas said in the Developer Q&A last November
“The current plans is to carry The Underlight Angler forward but we’ll see how it unfolds.”
[Editor: a folding Underlight Angler!?]
Fisherfriend News
Wowhead has advice for you on Fisherfriend of the Isles
Similarly, Fisherfriend of the Isles is much easier to do in a group since with enough people the rate of acquiring special items (that last for 2 minutes) increases dramatically. Doing this achievement after Legion will be hard since interested people will likely be focused on current content. Completing this achievement unlocks the hidden appearance for your Underlight Angler, with Underlight Emerald. Completing each step of the achievement, which requires you to reach Exalted with each Fisherfriend, allows you to purchase special toy lures and pets. More details in the Legion Fishing Guide.
Question for You
Are you going to be maxing out your Underlight Angler before Battle for Azeroth?
