Speaking from experience, I desynthed all the non-crafting material fish I caught from around 20-50 Fisher because even though I know Culinarian Desynthesis is only useful for swimwear outside of Rich Tomato Relish for Mastercrafts, the shards/crystals I got from it were more desirable than selling them off as vendor trash.
Even though I was getting shards and Allagan metal pieces from it though, it is still such a chore to desynth a lot of items because of the back and forth nature of it. Yet, crafters have the option to skim through basic materials with the slight chance of a failure if they can comfortably HQ the end recipe, so why can't it be the same in the case of Desynthesis?
After all, if I have 100% chance to desynth an item, and I have a large stack of trash to get rid of and the end reward is better than selling to a vendor, why can't I simply set up a queue and let the computer process it for me?
Further adding onto this, I personally don't see why the wall from 2.0 to 3.0 in the case of caught fish is so high. I've been told I need higher than 80 desynthesis to even desynth a level 51 catch, meaning I'd have to desynth many 2-star 2.0 fish just to get rid of the beginner fish of Heavensward. Surely this should be lowered, as there's no guarantee that I'll catch a 2-star fish with every mooch, in comparison to the ease of waiting for an unspoiled node and spending GC seals to gather the materials for a 2.0 1-star and up craft.
Please like if you agree, and please comment if you have any suggestions or feedback.

CUL was really fast for me. There should be a bunch of Worm of Nym ( http://xivdb.com/?item/7916/Worm-of-Nym ) on the AH for cheap, desynth those like cray cray. (3k on Sarg, 700 for HQ on Tonberry).

FSH retainers bring back both of those fish from level 50+ ventures (they also bring back emperor fish, but I know there might be a demand for those because of flint caviar still being somewhat viable as a cheap alternative for people not wanting to pay for baked pipira pira).Quote:

Perhaps it might be a piece of my own ignorance to ask for the desynthesis wall to be reduced because I don't have a great deal of Gil to spend on the market board to convert it into fine sand, and my self-sustaining nature leading me to fish my own catches, but I still believe the quick desynthesis option is a good idea, for people wishing to level their desynthesis fast, or because they know their success rate is 100% and need a stack over quickly (generating Fieldcrafts/Battlecrafts/Mastercrafts etc.), just to cull out the mind-numbing tedium.

if you really want to be self-sufficient in your CUL power-grinding, I might suggest doing the level 45 gatherer/crafter leves in Mor Dhona/capital cities that award Lucis token mats. You can trade those in to Talan in Mor Dhona for Better Crowned Pie; Save up a bunch and smash them all at once with a Bacon Broth + Tinker's Calm (both HQ; might want to level up your CUL and ALC until you can HQ easily).
I got tired of the small gains from 2/3 star fish at around 90 desynth so that's what I started doing. I was only able to successfully desynth about 5 of my first 50 or so but when it did happen, I was gaining at least 1 point each time until I was ready to tackle heavensward fish.
