This article is about salmon in its food form, only raw. For the mob form of salmon, see Salmon. For other uses, see Fish.

Raw salmon is a food item that is based on a Sockeye Salmon

Obtaining

Fishing

The most common way of obtaining raw salmon is fishing. The wait time of one being caught is decreased with the Lure enchantment and the chance of one being caught is slightly decreased with the Luck of the Sea enchantment (named as such because it increases treasure, not fish).

Catching salmon awards 1-6 experience.

Mob drops

Guardians and Elder Guardians

Guardians and elder guardians have a 2.5% chance of dropping a random fish upon death. This has a 25% chance of being raw salmon. The chance of getting the fish drop can be increased by 1% per level of Looting, but the type of fish is not affected.

Polar Bears

Polar bears have a 25% chance to drop 0–2 raw salmon when killed. The maximum amount can be increased by 1 per level of Looting, for a maximum of 0-5 with Looting III.

Salmon

Salmon will always drop 1 raw salmon in its item form when killed. In Java Edition, if the salmon was killed while on fire, then it will drop cooked salmon instead.

Natural generation

Raw salmon can be found in 24.2% of village fisherman chests in stacks of 1–3, and in 61.5% of bonus chests in stacks of 1–2.

In Bedrock Edition they can be found in all bonus chests in stacks of 1–2.

Usage

Food

Raw salmon restores 2 () and 0.2 saturation.

Cats

Salmon can be used to tame ocelots‌^{[LCE only]}/cats with ¹⁄₃ chance of successful. Salmon can also be used to get cats off of chests, beds, etc.; breed cats or ocelots; make baby cats and baby ocelots grow up faster by 10% of the remaining time; and gain ocelot's trust. Additionally raw salmon can be used to heal cats by 2.

Dolphins

Dolphins can be fed raw salmon. Doing this will increase their trust with the player, and interact with them more often. However, unlike most animals, this will not cause them to breed.

Additionally, dolphins will swim to the nearest chest in a shipwreck or underwater ruin when they are fed raw salmon. If the chest in the nearest structure is broken, they will swim to another structure with a chest.

Trading

Apprentice-level Fisherman villagers have 50%‌^{[Bedrock Edition only]} or ²⁄₃‌^{[Java Edition only]} chance to buy 6 raw salmon and one emerald for 6 cooked salmon.

Journeyman-level Fisherman villagers will buy 13 raw salmon for an emerald.

Wolves

In Bedrock Edition, raw salmon can be used to fed wolves, heal them by 2. However, unlike other wolf food, raw salmon cannot be used to speed up the growth of baby wolves nor used to breed them, thus making it only feedable when wolves are not at full health.
