Lobster Bisque

Lobster Bisque is a cooked dish that restores a large amount of energy thanks to its high edibility. It can be prepared in the kitchen inside an upgraded farmhouse or made with a Cookout Kit. It may also appear at the Traveling Cart, can be purchased from Gus’s shop at the Desert Festival for Calico Eggs, and one may be obtained by opening a Mystery Box.

Lobster Bisque has a sell price of 205g and a duration of 16 minutes and 47 seconds when used as a buffing item. Despite being described as a secret family recipe, it can be learned from The Queen of Sauce.

It has a few practical uses beyond simple consumption:

• It is not used in any bundles.
• It is not used in any quests.
• It can be placed in the spool of the Sewing Machine to create a Shirt.

Because of its high edibility, Lobster Bisque is most notable as a strong recovery food rather than as a progression item. Players who want to stockpile reliable energy restoration can either cook it once the recipe is known or look for it through its limited acquisition methods. The Desert Festival purchase is especially useful for players who want several copies at once, since up to five can be bought there.

A small trivia detail affects recipe acquisition: if the letter from Willy containing the Lobster Bisque recipe arrives on 14 Winter, Year 2 and The Queen of Sauce is watched before checking the mail, the letter remains in the mailbox but the recipe box at the bottom of the letter is blank.
