The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Game Add-Ons (DLC) Hints

How does the fish hatchery work (Windstad Manor only)?

  • 1 of 5: Look for it down by the water, a short ways NW of the manor.
  • 2 of 5: When you activate it, you'll be able to put in various types of fish (abecean longfin, cyrodilic spadetail, etc.) in order to breed them in the fenced-in fish pen.
  • 3 of 5: NOTE: You can put a slaughterfish egg in the breeder to breed some tame slaughterfish. The new salmon roe item can also be put in to breed salmon, but you can't get any more roe that way (unless you use the "shoot 'em with a bow" glitch).
  • 4 of 5: 24 hours after putting one portion of one or more types of fish into the hatchery, return to find that several fish of each type are swimming around in the pen.
  • 5 of 5: Dive in and harvest them all (or their nests, in the case of slaughterfish), then come back in another 24 hours to get a fresh batch. Note that you can also add other types of fish to the hatchery to start them breeding.
