Deep Blue Sushi Guides
From your first dive to running a five-star restaurant.
Welcome to the Deep Blue Sushi guides section. Whether you are just starting out or looking to optimize your restaurant, these guides cover every aspect of the game. Deep Blue Sushi is a chaotic co-op experience that blends ocean exploration, fishing, sushi preparation, and restaurant management into one satisfying gameplay loop. These guides will help you master each element.
Beginner Guides
If you are new to Deep Blue Sushi, start with the Getting Started guide. It covers the basic controls, your first dive, and how to prepare your first sushi orders. The game combines ocean exploration with restaurant management, so understanding both sides is essential. You will learn how to manage your oxygen supply, catch your first fish, and serve your first customers. The guide also covers early game priorities like which equipment upgrades to buy first and how to expand your restaurant efficiently.
Multiplayer Guides
Deep Blue Sushi is designed for co-op play with up to 5 players. Our Co-op Tips guide explains how to divide roles effectively, communicate during busy service hours, and coordinate dives for maximum efficiency. Team composition matters: having dedicated divers and dedicated kitchen staff leads to smoother service than everyone doing everything. The guide covers strategies for different team sizes, from duo play all the way up to a full five-person crew.
Ocean Exploration
The ocean in Deep Blue Sushi is vast and full of secrets. Different zones contain different fish species, dangerous creatures, and hidden treasures. Our Ocean Exploration guide maps out the key areas and explains what you can find in each depth level. From the calm shallow waters where beginners can safely fish to the dangerous deep ocean zones filled with sharks and electric fish, each area offers unique challenges and rewards. Understanding zone boundaries and fish spawning patterns is key to efficient ingredient gathering.
Sushi Recipes
Preparing sushi is the core of the restaurant experience. Each recipe requires specific ingredients that you catch during dives. The Sushi Recipes guide lists all known recipes, their ingredients, and tips for efficient preparation. Recipes range from simple mackerel sushi that any beginner can make to complex exotic dishes that require defeating dangerous sea creatures. Learning the timing of each preparation step is critical for maximizing quality and customer satisfaction.
Controls, Restaurant, And Solo
Keyboard prompts live in the Controls guide. The Restaurant Management page covers tables versus kitchen upgrades. If you are playing alone, read Solo Play before you try to dive during dinner service. System requirements are collected under PC Specs.
