Using Fish Is Incredibly Tedious

First I would like to thank you ZoS for including fish into the provisioning system.

The problem is to make fish an ingredient, a player has to use the fish in their inventory; one fish at a time. I'm holding on over 3000 fish which will take roughly 100 mins for me to covert them to ingredients.

Could this pleased be changed to something similar to extracting with blacksmithing, clothing, and woodworking; or let players "Use" the entire stack of fish? As it stands this system is incredibly tedious. This is still a big time sink for those who don't have a horde of fish; returning with 50-100 fish per fishing trip.

    Yikes! I was about to go test this out but I think I will leave the fish I has still swimming in my vault...

    I think it's quite easy. It seems like it is meant for you to do this on the fly, which shouldn't be a problem. It's just the fact we have ridiculous amounts of stashed fish that make it take so long. I found the timing just fine after catching a fish.

    Yeah I do think that the system will work great for most people, but it can certainly be implemented in a way that takes less time. Especially since I think the majority of people who will have fish, will be those going for rare fish. And trying to get them gives you tons of common fish.

    I would very much like to see "Use" mean "Convert this whole stack", or have a separate option for "Convert this whole stack" (a la Multicraft, maybe?). I would write an add-on for this, but the UseItem() function is private, so we can't "use" it.

    I am jealous of your stacks of fish. I vendored all my whites and only kept the green fish for now.
