How does grilling work in How to Fish?
Grilling is unlocked by defeating the Blue Shark mini-boss and handing it to the grill NPC, who gives you a Lighter. After that, grilling a caught creature before selling it increases its sale value. This unlock chain comes from a single gameplay video and isn't independently confirmed yet, though the grilling mechanic itself is verified through official screenshots and achievements.
