Beginner guide: from your first fish to your first sale

Complete one full service cycle

Hire a fisherman at the waterfront, collect the fish they catch, carry them to Deposit Fish in the kitchen, then let customers eat and collect the resulting money. Carrying fish alone does not complete the earning loop. The opening tutorial guides these handoffs in this order.

This guide follows publicly recorded gameplay from November 1, 2026. We have not independently played this build. Follow the labels in your current server when they differ from the recording.

1. Hire at the waterfront

Find the round Hire 1 pad beside the fishing area. Check the amount shown and walk onto the pad when you can afford it. A fisherman should appear along the water. The first tutorial task in the recording asks the player to hire one worker; later it asks for more.

Watch for the worker appearing before buying again. A kitchen upgrade and a fisherman purchase affect different parts of the restaurant. The displayed price changes during the recording, so use the amount on your own pad instead of treating an early screenshot price as permanent.

2. Collect caught fish

Move to the fish collection area beside the fishermen. In the opening sequence the tutorial counter advances from zero to a carried fish. The fish counter near the bottom of the screen shows what the player is carrying. Check that this counter increases before leaving for the kitchen.

Hiring produces a source of fish. It does not by itself deliver those fish to the chef. Repeat the collection trip when the kitchen needs another supply. Later automation is described separately in our game passes guide.

3. Take fish to the kitchen

Follow the tutorial direction across the courtyard toward the restaurant. Head to the Deposit Fish area by the chef. Check the carried fish counter and kitchen response after stepping onto the delivery area. In the opening video the tutorial changes from carrying fish to waiting for customers after delivery.

If your money stays unchanged while you carry fish, finish the delivery first. Fish are ingredients in this loop. The chef turns the delivered stock into sushi for the customers.

4. Wait for customers and collect money

After the chef has fish, let the service run. The tutorial explicitly asks the player to wait for customers to eat. It then directs the player to collect money. Visit that collection area and check that your wallet changes before returning to the waterfront.

Once this first loop works, repeat it to fund more hiring. Before spending your available cash, check which handoff is waiting: no fish, undelivered fish, customers still eating, or money still waiting to be collected. This is practical troubleshooting based on the visible service loop, without a measured optimal upgrade order.

What to do after the tutorial

1. Keep the kitchen supplied while earning for the next hire.
2. Follow the three-fisherman merge prompt when it appears.
3. Inspect both sides of the merge: the old worker labels and the resulting new worker.
4. Use current in-game prices and requirements for later purchases.

A verified free-play time to one million sushi, exact later-tier recipes, maximum worker level and offline earnings remain unknown. The video includes later currency purchases, so we do not use its overall pace as a normal-play earnings benchmark.
