Prepping Seafood - AlabasterLeking/Crabbers-Delight GitHub Wiki
Seafood is prepared in a different process from the other meat items in the game
Crustaceans
Crabs, Clawsters, and Shrimps can only have their cooked variants obtained by putting them into a cooking pot. Once cooked, they can be used in any corresponding recipes.
This emulates real life, where crustaceans are boiled alive to be eaten to eliminate particular bacterial spread that can occur if they are killed prior to being prepared
Clams
Clams are separate from the crustaceans. To get the meat from a clam, it needs to be put onto a cutting board and chopped with a knife. This yields both clam meat, and a chance to get the illustrious pearls.
Once clam meat is obtained, it can be cooked by smelting/smoking/frying/campfire just like other meats
