This guide is going to be simple and is just taken from my own research and is to help anyone that is struggling for the cooking material for end game. With that being said, the name of the game is TAIL BAIT

Step 1.
(note you may want to save beforehand)

* Clean storage room (with vacuum, top option ) in the day during travel (maybe do this near end game so you dont waste precious time grinding follower/stats) - if it gave 2 Tail Bait, you're golden, if its fragrance, reload and try again, if the day clean gives 2 bait, the night will too -- NOTE: It is random on the day, reloading and trying again may give different results but the night time is locked to what was given in the day.

Step 2.

* Go fishing (If you don't know how, you're not far enough in the story. Which means you probably shouldn't be grinding for this yet anyway)* Always choose the tail bait. Other baits can give these items but not as much and their main fish they fish up are purchasable later in the game.* dialogue is given three prompts. I'll quote the beginning of each and then give the answer below it.

"Hmmm. Nothings biting"
- Thrash & Splash

• 2 Lord of the lake
  
• Queen's Honey

"Yaaawn... Ah"
Give into naptime

• 1 Lord of the lake
  
• 2 Queen's Honey

"Maybe it's all in this staring"
Think like a Fish

• 1 Lord of the Lake
  
• 2 Queen's Honey

Doing this will provide you with key material needed for the end game cooking receipts.
