Regardless of what you want to cook, Seafood Platters of any size included, the only cooking method in Disney Dreamlight Valley is throwing all of the ingredients into boiling water and hoping for the b🍰est. Somehow, this boiling pot is capable of churning out soups, crispy pastries, and even ice cream treats. 

We’ll just assum🧸e that this is some funky Disney magic at play, and try not to ask too many qu𓂃estions. 

Anyway, to cook, you’ll need to interact with a stove or campfire, select your ingredients from the menu that pops up, and then select “Start Cooking”. You’ll then be given a preview of your cooked meal, and it will be stored automatically within your inventory. 

It’s worth noting that each time you cook a meal, it will consume one Coal Ore from your inventory or storage, so make sure to have a good stock of the resource if you plan👍 on cooking a feast. It can be purchased with no daily limit from Kristoff’s Stall, or gathered from most Mining Nodes.

What you can do with your Seafood Platter depends on the size you choose to cook. No recipe in Disney Dreamlight Valley offers any unique buffs or per𒊎ks, b♓ut what you get out of each varies. 

Each dish, Seafoo��d Platters included, will provi𒈔de a different selling price or amount of energy when consumed, and each is used in different quests for different villagers. 

Seafood Platter

The regular two-star Seafood Platter unfortunately sells for next to nothing, netting yo♛u only two Star Coins for each that you sell. Even though the ingredients cost you nothing, it’s hardly the most profitable dish to chur⛎n out. The selling price was much higher prior to the 1.2 update, when the Seafood Platter would sell for 116 Star Coins.

Seafood Platter can, however, be useful in terms of energy provision. If you’re just starting out and want something easy and freಞe to boost your ability to perform tasks around the Valley, then Seafood Platter will give at least 458 energy, which is more than enough to keep going. 

In terms of quests, Seafood Platter is used in only one. Once you’ve visited the Moana Realm and dragged Moana and Maui back to the Valley, and reached friendship level 4 with Moana, you’ll need one Seafood Platter in order to๊ complete her level 4 friendship quest “Peacemakers”. 

Large Seafood Platter

The Large Seafood Platter can serve you better if you’re looking to make some profit, but like the smaller version, the selling price was reduced from 340 Star Coins during the 1.5 update, to just 56 Star Coins ever since. While churning these out and selling them iಌs far from a get-rich-quick scheme, it can definitely help if you’re in a pinch. 

Also like its smaller cousin, the Large Seafood Platter is much better u🤪sed as a way to fill up your energy bar. When consumed, the Large Seafood Platter will restore 1,810 energy, which is more than enough to completely fill your blue energy during early game stages, and even offer some yellow energy as well. The efficiency reduces at higher player levels, but this is a completely free to൩ make recipe, so you can easily eat three or four without losing anything. 

The Large Seafood Platter is used in two quests, each of which requires you to cook the dish and then deliver it to a༒ certain villager:

QuestVillager / LevelHow to complete
A Festival of FriendshipMirabel (Level 10)Deliver to Anna
A Great GatheringSimba (Level 4)Deliver to Simba
