You're going to have a hard time getting business with that offer. Unfortunately, not enough people bother to fish often for BE's to know when there is a good spawn. Since BE's are the only ones who need it, and only for Pet Stim D's, there isn't much demand for it. However, on Tarquinas, I have seen someone drop a vendor tent near some good fishing water and named the building "will pay 1k for uncut fish. Offer them to my vendor"
Just whip out your fishing pole every once in awhile and, if the OQ+OQ+PE of the meat is more than 2300 or so, try to get at least 1000 units of it. If nothing else, you may be able to get a good price for it in the trade forums.

AFAIK it takes the same amount of time to gather avian meat from dwarf nunas but with fish you'll only get 30-35cpu for it and avian you might get 300cpu for it. I'm not trying to sell BEs off here but I think there is a bit of an inbalance in the gathering techniques of both and really it needs to be sorted out.

Hmm, I'm not sure why you guys are saying what you're saying. No demand for fish?... are you NUTS?? There isn't a resource in the game that I'd rather have then fish. No sooner do pet stim D's hit my vendor then they're sold. Not that there is huge profit in selling small quantities of it, but it brings people there just knowing that I (sometimes) have them.
And as far as fish not being worth catching.... well, let's not forget the biggest incentive to fish... scout/ranger survival xp. Fishing was my method of choice going up both the ranger and scout trees. You get much better xp then sitting in camps, and unlike grinding camps, you can chat with friends and make lots o cash at the same time. And there is a new incentive now... aquariums. Not sure if this craze has hit all servers yet

but people on wanderhome and Briaare paying good money for fish carcuses (that is, fish that have already been skinned) in order to set up really neat aquariums.

So you can potentially get fish to stock your own aquarium, good money for selling the fish meat, good money for selling the rest of the carcuses, and get your scout/ranger xp at the same time. Not a bad deal really.

Great response Arthur and some handy Info. Inifinity server is still young so everything tends to be pricy and as far as I can tell I am one of a few hardcore fishermen on that entire server.
Think i will stop destroying the carcuses now too...
So offer still stands. I can get about 1500 units of fish in an eveing (real time) if any BE's on Inifinity are interested.
I know this isnt the trade forum.... just offering my services
Thanks for reading.
