World of Warcraft: Cooking and Fishing In Dalaran

Angela Lindsey, an MMORPG.com Correspondent for World of Warcraft, penned this colorful guide to fishing and cooking in Dalaran. Follow her on this informative tale.
You’ve gotten to Dalaran and spent some time fishing in the fountain. Your bag is full of the best buff food for your class and you have fish feasts for days. Still wanting more fishing fun? Good. Let’s get fishing out in Northrend!
Marcia Chase was underrated at the beginning of Wrath of the Lich King, mostly spending time selling bright baubles to eager fishers hoping to catch coins or sewer rats. She’s been given a new, more exciting task, though! She now offers adventurers fishing daily quests. This guide will help you understand what you need to do to get the Chasing Marcia achievement for ten shiny achievement points!

Nice write up, but for three of the five cooking quests, you need to come up with some meat. Chilled meat is needed for Sewer Stew and for Northern Stew (Convention at the Legerdemain specifically says "Northern Stew prepared with your cooking skills"). So the mustard dogs quest isn't the only one.
It's possible to get both rhino meat and chilled meat from the various flavors of rhino that inhabit Northrend, in the Borean Tundra and Sholazar Basin.
I might add that the only cooking quest that might pose much of a problem for a low 70's character would be Sewer Stew, as the Crystalsong Forest is inhabited by some 78 level wolves that are very aggro.
On the fishing quest side, Dangerously Delicious is the only one that will get a low 70's in much trouble, but I've run that one at least five times since I hit the 70's, and I've never seen any PvP action near the Valiance FP in Wintergrasp. Even did one during a battle, and got credit for a victory without firing a shot. Victory through superior angling!
On edit: now that I've thought of it, you need to come up with some chilled meat for Infused mushroom meatloaf as well. So that's four of the five quests.
CH, Jedi, Commando, Smuggler, BH, Scout, Doctor, Chef, BE...yeah, lots of SWG time invested.

Thanks for the comment! I actually did mention everything you said about the meat, in the paragraph before I was listing the quests.
There are only two ingredients that you can prepare beforehand, so stock up. The first is Chilled Meat, which drops off of just about any beast in Northrend. If you’re level 80, you probably have a stockpile of this somewhere. If not, go farm for about ten minutes and you’ll probably have a stack. The other is Rhino Meat which, unsurprisingly, drops from rhinos. Train up how to cook Northern Stew and Rhino Dogs, and you’re good to go.
You have a wonderful point about being level 70 though, so thanks for mentioning it! Sometimes, wandering around at level 80, I forget that it's harder for the lower levels to do some things.
Foes of WoW may disagree but this is the kind of content that creates fond long lasting memories of a game.
I still remember the areas and quests from EQ1 and UO years and years ago.
I agree completely! I absolutely love the little things tucked away in the game, just waiting to be found.
