Salmon

Salmon are a type of fish that are located in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. They may be caught by activating them, which adds raw Salmon Meat to the player's inventory. Salmon caught leaping up falls may also contain Salmon Roe, an alchemical ingredient. The raw meat may later be cooked to produce Salmon Steak.

Salmon may often be found swimming upstream or even swimming up waterfalls by leaping out of the water. Fast moving water usually contains salmon. They are also sometimes found dead in buckets, boats or on racks in towns with a water source nearby. The player can shoot arrows or use ranged destruction magic attacks to kill salmon as well.

Salmon can be found swimming up most rivers, even those where it would be impossible for them to progress upriver, (such as upstream from large, vertical waterfalls).

Bugs
