The Heartopia trigger bread recipe is an unusual cooking recipe that has confused players since launch. Most bread recipes in the game require flour, but trigger bread does not. It is a gluten-free option that uses alternative ingredients.

That makes it one of the best dishes for rare fish hunting.
