This is more of a joke than a serious suggestion but seeing as fish are technically the only health item for now why not have schools of fish that spawn like ores? Then have a building that you can build over top of them "mining" them 1 every 60 seconds providing you with a nice supply of fish for your trip of alien murdering

Fish give you health? Awesome!

In that case I definitely think we should be able to farm fish.

I grabbed a fish yesterday (to see if I can)
Thanks for the info. I should remove it from my "useless curiosities" chest.

EDIT: Same question as below... I guess I need to be hurt for it to work.
But then there would be no time for figuring out the fish question.

I cant eat em, how do I eat fishes

When you are hurt, you eat them using shift click . Very hidden.

Deconstruct them. Also, they give 5 fish, not 1 now.

i think you can also pick them up and place them onto or near your character to eat one. (i did that in a previous game taken from the toolbelt for easy access, but i havent attached any biters yet this game).

there was a sushi mod from here:
https://mods.factorio.com/mod/O-Sushi-mod but it is still for v0.15

and yuoki industries mod, has some Fish Ranching too and works in 0.16

(i use the main core Yuoki mod, with the yuoki tech tree mod, which groups all the tech with explanations)
