- Never loses health from poor support.

Placement rules
The game checks 2 things before it lets Fish 'n' Bread go down, and it tells you none of them — it just refuses and turns the ghost red.
- Will not place in water.
- Will not place on a slope.
Fish 'n' Bread belongs to the Miscellaneous category and costs Fish 'n' Bread ×1. Valheim never states the rules that decide whether a piece will place, so they are read from the game files here: the surface it needs, the water it cannot touch, and whether it must have something above it. Those are what turn a red ghost back to blue.

How to build Fish 'n' Bread
What do you need to build Fish 'n' Bread in Valheim?
Fish 'n' Bread ×1. Materials have to be inside the build radius of the station, not just in your inventory, which is the usual reason a piece stays greyed out with everything apparently to hand.
Why will Fish 'n' Bread not place in Valheim?
Because of the 2 rules listed above. The game gives no reason when a ghost turns red; it is always one of those, and the surface is the usual culprit.
How much health does Fish 'n' Bread have?
10. That is structural health, separate from any durability an item has — it is what a raid, a fire or your own hammer has to chew through.
Where is Fish 'n' Bread in the build menu?
Under Miscellaneous, on -. Build pieces are unlocked by picking up their materials rather than by finding a plan, so if it is missing from your hammer the answer is always a resource you have not carried home yet.
Does Fish 'n' Bread hold up a structure in Valheim?
No. This piece takes support but never passes it on, so nothing can be built outwards from it — roughly two in five placeable objects are inert this way, including banners, rugs and most furniture. It can hang on a wall; it cannot hold one up.
