My fishery did not handle my elite squad of 9 fishers, so I've build 4 more. Strangely enough, only one of them is occupied at any given point - when some dabbling cleaner took the spot, the high master went partying. Can't think of any possible reason for this, nor provide any additional information on the matter.

Any help would be critically appreciated by all those fishies rotting on the fishery roof.

- queue up "process a raw fish" on repeat manually
- put a raw fish stockpile underneath where fishers stand to fish.

The first suggestion worked, thank you! I don't really understand the logic behind this, though.
As for the second - I already have a raw fish stockpile nearby, if that's what you mean. Or is it?

[Fleeting Frames]

- I think it only queues up one job if there's any amount of raw fish.

- No, I mean raw fish stockpile right beneath where fisherdwarves stand when fishing. No hauling necessary that way, they'll drop raw fish right on the (now quantum) stockpile and it is certain to not rot away that way. Though, if you're not running really busy or the raw fish stockpile nearby isn't full the fish shouldn't have rotted.

Butcheries and tanners do this, too.  If you have 5 butcheries and a pile of 10 dead beak dogs, you have to manually queue up 4 of them to get to work, because only one (the last one you built) will automatically create the butcher animal job.

Yes, it's a pita.

Ah. Yes, it does make sense - no need to queue every available fishery when there's one new raw fish, only to cancel all jobs except one later. Thank you for the explanation. Queuing R jobs on each building solved that issue.

The stockpile - well, I find it un-nice to put a random stockpile on the shore (yes, my dwarves live outside). There's a big fishing manufactory 2 tiles away from the river, and the raw fish storage is on the roof. It looks nice, is easy to manage and quite efficient.
