I'm sure us Rogues just found a new best friend in the Wrath Raiding Scene. And, sourced here, about 32.8 hit rating = 1% to hit at 80, giving the 40 Hit rating buff an 80 Rogue an extra 1.2% to hit.

The recipe for this fish can be acquired through the Dalaran Cooking Award. More on the award (from El's Anglin):

A new set of daily cooking quests can be found in Dalaran. These start from the cooking trainer, in the inn within your faction's enclave in the city. One quest out from 5 different types will be available each day. Most quests require items to be gathered from within Dalaran, and combined with some cooked meat. At least one of these quests (Mustard Dogs) is not available at low level (74) or low skill (400).

Completing a Dalaran cooking daily quest gives 1 or 2 Dalaran Cooking Awards, plus a Small Spice Bag that contains a few Northern Spices and sometimes another Dalaran Cooking Award, spice, or recipe. Dalaran Cooking Awards are tokens that can be traded with the vendor stood near to the cooking trainer.

Recipes marked "Dalaran Cooking Award" above can be purchased using 3 Dalaran Cooking Awards.

Northern Spices can also be purchased for 1 Dalaran Cooking Award per stack of 10 spices. All the best buff foods require Northern Spices, which (currently) can only be purchased with Awards, and each individual can only gain a limited number of awards each day. In practice, this should restrict the number of times a raiding group can "wipe" (die) fully buffed, each week. It may also make the best buff food exceptionally valuable.

It is likely cooks will need to complete many daily quests just to reach level 450: The best trainable recipes (those for buff foods) "go green" (become unlikely to give a skill-up when cooking) at level 382, and are likely to "go grey" (never give a skill-up) by level 415-420: the final 30-35 points of cooking relies on recipes that require Dalaran Cooking Awards.

These are great for raiding from a rogue's standpoint. The only pain is fishing up 3 snapper per one food; however, they are easy enough to catch, and stacks tend to be cheap on AH (4.5g for 20 on Ahn'Qiraj EU).

These also give skill level beyond the point most other Northern Spice recipes cease to do so, so cooking these is a good way to level your cooking that extra bit, too.

Useful for priests against Razuvios in naxx 25.

Worg Tartare gives you the same buff, and you can farm the meat rather than fish for it, if that's what you prefer.
