There's a couple fish recipes that work for that. I think fish on the rocks can do blood? Anyway:

These are the bare line basics required by a wandering forager. There's absolutely no reason to truly settle down until you've achieved this. All of the skills are reasonably easy to acquire without any true storage space either. I always look at things from the perspective of a solo hermit because it's easier to include other people than to look at things as a group and have them try to figure out how to live alone.
It's been neat to see the evolution of a game. Salem has come so far, and still has far to go. Although frustrating, I think it's been an experience worth the effort.
