You'll need to unlock the option to build a fishing quay beforehand. It will be accessible after you first research the Sailing technology, which becomes unlocked in the Antiquity Tech Tree after you study Agriculture, its starting component. Researching Shipbuilding will be another important prerequisite in this process.

Make sure you build a fishing quay in Civilization 7 in a settlement situated near open water bodies, whether it be coasts, larger lakes, or a river. Make sure to build them on tiles connected to open seas.

When in your selected region, open the production menu and head to the 'buildings' section. Here, select the structure. Then, assign it to a water tile near the settlement. After a while, its construction will be complete, and you will have built the quay.

Why are fishing quays important?

Distant Lands are regions that become accessible after you research Cartography in the Exploration Age. These host assets unique to them, with Treasure resources being the most valuable.

Retrieving them will increase the player's gold income and contribute towards the Exploration Age Economic Legacy path. However, since these lands are located in the ocean, you will need to establish treasure fleets to transport these treasured items.

You can check if a region contains treasure resources by activating the 'Continents' Lens (located above the mini-map), selecting said land, and checking the legend on the left.

To spawn the important sea-transport vehicles in the game, you will need to build a fishing quay in a distant land. Note that you need to own the specific ground before establishing the facility.

Aside from bringing these resources back to the base, quays also have other bonuses. They grant +1 food yield along with one additional food for fishing boat improvements.
