The seafood chain can become space-heavy fast. Check current orders before committing energy to higher levels, and keep enough board space for the intermediate items that appear while you climb.
Item Levels
Use this table to stop at the level your order needs instead of merging past it.
FAQ
Why does seafood feel expensive?
Seafood asks for long chains and can fill the board with middle items. It is best handled as a visible-order chain.
Should I make high seafood items in advance?
Usually no. High seafood items take space and energy, so build them only when the order board asks for them.
