Deep Blue Sushi Sushi Recipes
Every recipe, every ingredient, every tip to master the kitchen.
Sushi preparation is the heart of Deep Blue Sushi. Each recipe requires specific ingredients that you catch during ocean dives. Mastering the recipes means understanding both the kitchen and the sea. The quality of your ingredients directly impacts the quality of your final dish, so efficient diving and cooking go hand in hand. Whether you play solo or with a team of five, knowing the recipe system inside and out is essential for building a profitable restaurant.
All Recipes
Our All Recipes page is a comprehensive reference for every sushi type in the game. Each entry lists the required ingredients, preparation steps, sell price, and customer satisfaction rating. Recipes are organized by difficulty tier, from basic mackerel rolls to premium deep-sea creations. Use this page to plan your ingredient needs before each dive and to decide which dishes to prioritize during busy service hours.
Recipe Unlock Guide
Not all recipes are available from the start. Some unlock as you progress through the game, upgrade your restaurant, or discover new fish species. The Recipe Unlock Guide explains the requirements for each recipe and the fastest path to unlocking them all. Restaurant level upgrades are the primary unlock method, but some exotic recipes require defeating dangerous creatures during your dives.
Ingredient Sourcing
Every sushi recipe starts with fresh ingredients from the ocean. The quality of your catch directly affects the quality of your sushi. Check the Fish Tier List to learn which fish are best for each recipe. Planning your dives around the ingredients you need is more efficient than catching whatever is available. In co-op, coordinate with your divers so they bring back exactly what the kitchen needs.
Kitchen Efficiency
In co-op play, the kitchen can become chaotic during busy service hours. Assign specific players to preparation stations and practice the timing of each recipe step. Our Co-op Tips guide has detailed strategies for kitchen management. Pre-preparing common ingredients like rice before the rush starts saves valuable time during peak hours. Upgrade your preparation stations to unlock faster processing and wider timing windows.
Recipe Categories
Recipes in Deep Blue Sushi are divided into four tiers: Basic, Intermediate, Advanced, and Exotic. Basic recipes use common shallow-water fish and are quick to prepare with generous timing windows. Intermediate recipes require mid-depth catches and more preparation steps with tighter timing. Advanced recipes use rare deep-ocean ingredients and demand precise execution on every step. Exotic recipes require dangerous creature ingredients and offer the highest sell prices in the game.
Timing and Quality
Every recipe step has a timing window that affects the final quality of the dish. Hitting each step within the perfect window produces the highest quality rating, which increases both the sell price and customer satisfaction. Practice on basic recipes to learn the rhythm before attempting advanced dishes. The timing windows become narrower as recipe difficulty increases.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions.
How many recipes are in the game?
The Early Access version includes over a dozen sushi recipes across four tiers: Basic, Intermediate, Advanced, and Exotic. More recipes are planned for future updates during the Early Access period as part of the development roadmap.
How do I unlock new recipes?
New recipes unlock through restaurant upgrades, discovering new fish species, defeating dangerous creatures, and completing progression milestones. The Recipe Unlock Guide has specific requirements for each recipe and tips for unlocking them faster.
Does ingredient quality matter?
Yes, the freshness and type of fish you use affects the final sushi quality, sell price, and customer satisfaction. Recently caught fish produce better results than fish that have been in your inventory for a long time.
What is the most profitable recipe?
Advanced and exotic sushi recipes have the highest sell prices. Golden Tuna Deluxe and Shark Fin Special are among the most profitable, but they require rare ingredients and precise preparation timing.
Can I prepare ingredients before the rush?
Yes, you can pre-prepare common ingredients like sushi rice and nori before the restaurant opens. This saves valuable time during the service rush. However, fish freshness degrades over time, so catch fish close to when you need them.
