The process of producing roe in Stardew Valley involves transforming fish eggs into a more valuable artisan good. This is achieved through the utilization of a specific piece of equipment obtained later in the game. The resulting product offers a significant increase in value compared to the original eggs and can be used in various in-game applications.
Producing roe effectively contributes to overall farm profitability. Furthermore, certain types of this processed fish product are highly sought after for specific quests or as gifts to villagers, contributing to relationship building within the game. The ability to generate these goods provides a renewable source of income beyond traditional crops.
