Where to get caviar?

There are two ways:

• Easiest way is to buy it from the fisherman on the docks! Not all the time but sometimes he sells it!
• Second is the upgraded fishing skill tree that lets you catch legendary fish. Salmon roe would be a rare drop!

Fishing Tips

Usually a combination of up arrow and left arrow pressed together as soon as I hook the fish works for me.

That is if I am fishing in a southerly direction if you see what I mean! So to recap – cast (left click, hold, release when the indicator is full; wait until the bobber submerges, left click again – the circle will appear – keep the arrows inside the circle until the arc above your head fills up.

You will land the fish automatically, no need to click again). You might also want to try upgrading the rod with Pomarine – makes it easier. When I first tried fishing I thought I would never get it but once you’ve done it, it’s like riding a bike.

Some fish are really storng and it’s hard to get them back to the circle. Check Aloys’ stock and try to get rod with higher fishing power.

Chef / Waiter Management Tips

An optimal amount of Chefs and Waiters to have…

Staffing depends on your restaurant’s theme, layout, and number of tables. (Chef count includes you.) Always place appliances near the fridge and create a good layout that allows access to all appliances (3-block corner shape). For a normal restaurant theme (4 meals):

• Main course: 3 chefs / 1.5 tables, 2.5 waiters / table.
• Orders with 1-5 drinks: 3.5 chefs / table (it gets chaotic if it reaches 5 drinks), 3 waiters / table.
• Orders with 1-3 desserts: 3 chefs / 2 tables, 2.5 waiters / table.
