You can never have enough coins or energy in Disney Dreamlight Valley — the extremely popular early-access game has plenty of stuff you need to buy, including expensive upgrades for your house. Scrooge McDuck drives a hard bargain, and makes you pay for almost everything if his services are required. You can’t unlock a second floor without paying big bucks to McDuck. You can’t even repair fast-travel Wishing Wells until you’ve paid McDuck! Keeping a stockpile of coins is important, so here’s a quick way to earn plenty. You’ll just need to unlock Remy and start cooking.
In addition to money, this method will also score you a recipe that gives you a lot of energy. For the amount of work, it gives the most energy — making this the most efficient cooking recipe for doing work around the valley. And if your feed gives you more energy than your maximum, you’ll gain a bonus over-meter! Not bad for an extremely ugly fish.

Catching Anglerfish | Getting Started
Before we can begin, you’ll need to unlock cooking and fishing. Fishing is available early once you acquire the Royal Fishing Rod, and cooking becomes available once you arrive in Remy’s Realm (Ratatouille) and complete some of his quests.
- How To Unlock Fishing: Early in the game, you’ll get a quest to find the four Royal Tools. Acquire the Pickaxe in the Main Plaza, then break through the rocks to enter Peaceful Meadow. Collect the Broken Fishing Rod in the northeast, then talk to Goofy and complete his quests to repair it.
- How To Unlock Cooking: Cooking is available in Remy’s Realm (Ratatouille) — travel there first and start doing Friendship Quests to unlock his bonuses and kitchen immediately. You’ll need to do quests for Remy to unlock peanuts as an ingredient.
Once you do that, you’ll be good to go. I also recommend increasing friendship with fishing companion — the higher level the fishing companion, the more fish you’ll get per catch.
