I might just be very unlucky but does anyone know if there are new/changed preqs for obtaining swim bladder other then Field Dressing (according to the wiki's) or if anything changed regarding this?
I've butchered over 80 fish with Field Dressing and havent gotten a single bladder yet.

Viscera and Bits will probably help you.

Gonna look into it, thanks for the suggestion.

Hm. I guess u are just unlucky.
I have no Viscera and Bits, and i had no even Butchery two days ago (only Field Dressing), but i get ~swim bladder for 10-15 fishes.

What kind of fish are you butching the most ?
I've mostly been butchering Tiger Trouts.

I would say that there may have to do with hunting and hideworking. I have over 10,000 hunting and hideworking and I get them so often that I started making 0 purity jelly just to burn through my surplus.

mmm... like a half of my fish is Sargasso Eel; Trunk-Nosed Lake Perch and Darkwater Bluegill happens too. so i butchered enough of them.
i rare have Tiger Trout and Red Hering. butchered some of them too.
(( can't say for sure, what type of fish was lucky.
All other fish i got once or never.

May be quantity is the issue you are having. How many fish do you butcher at a time? I personally have 7 traps at about 10% purity. I fill them with charred meat scraps frequently and I butcher almost all the fish seeing how they seem almost useless for gluttony. I have a couple boxes of isinglass but that happened after about 3-4 days of keeping the traps full and emptying them. If you are only working with a couple traps and only getting a full trap once a day I would imagine that you are not going to return like 1 -2 fish bladders every two days.

Wouldn't suggest hording them but I turn over so much fish to the compost and turkeys while only hording the isinglass and of probably 200 fish have about 25 - 35 isinglass returned.
