Broiled Dumud
Food · FoodDishFish0★Fish grilled and coated in a secret sauce that calms the body as much as the head. Made for Pal Tamers who need a rest.
Broiled Dumud is an early cooked dish: 10th of 13 by hunger restored, so treat it as a stepping stone, at 70 against the 193 of Seafood Pasta.
Nothing is crafted from it — it is an end product, so anything you make is meant to be used rather than banked as a component.

Raw DumudWhere to Find Broiled Dumud
Broiled Dumud is not something you find lying around — you craft it, and the recipe is below.
Using Broiled Dumud Well
There is no bench gate on this one. The recipe is taken by the whole cooking family — Campfire, Cooking Pot, Electric Kitchen, Large-Scale Stone Oven, Ancient Kitchen — and the Campfire sits at Technology level 2 for 1 point and 10 Wood, so the first fire you ever light already cooks it. Nothing about the dish changes at the higher kitchens, so there is no reason to hold a stack of Raw Dumud back waiting for a Cooking Pot at level 17.
Cooking the fish is free value: raw Raw Dumud fills 50 hunger, the broiled version fills 70, and one fish still makes one dish at the same 2 weight per unit. The job is 1,600 work — a fifth of a Campfire cycle for most cooks — so a full inventory of Dumud clears in one sitting rather than needing a dedicated kitchen shift.
Do not buy the description's promise about the mind: it returns 1 SAN, which is a rounding error against a Pal's sanity bar. Spend the same fish on Dumud Chowder when sanity is the actual problem — 2 Lettuce and 2 Tomato on top of the one Raw Dumud buys 21 SAN and 170 hunger. The catch is throughput: Chowder is 32,000 work against this dish's 1,600, twenty cooking cycles for one bowl. Broiled is what you mass-produce to keep a base fed; Chowder is what you cook deliberately for a worker that has stopped working.
Trading Broiled Dumud with NPCs
An NPC will take Broiled Dumud as a hand-in and pay 5 Silver Key — worth knowing before you sell a stack to a merchant for gold.
Alternatives and Upgrades
Step up from here and you get Grilled Fish at 75 hunger restored; step down and it is Jellroy's Jolly Jelly at 60. That gap is the honest measure of whether an upgrade is worth the materials right now.
