You can only complete (1) one Fishing daily and (1) one Cooking daily per day/reset.
So you can only do one cooking and one fishing quest reguardless of which of the three Cities (Ironforge, Darnassus, & Stormwind) you pick up.
IF: Grimnur Stonebrand <Fishing Trainer> & Daryl Riknussun <Cooking Trainer>

This is one of the few fishing dailies where you actually have to fish.
Go to Helm's Bed Lake (around 84,51 - east of Gol'bolar Quarry) and catch the char like you would any other fish.

If you complete this daily, you won't be able to pick up the equivalents in Darnassus or Stormwind for the rest of the day. It's a nice change from the Stormwind only grinds we had before though.
