Cooking/Fishing from 225 HordeFollow

Horde

This assumes you know the fishing quest for 225 up is in Dustwallow (minimum 225 fish skill to do quest)and the cooking 225 is in Tanaris (same). Once you have both completed go to Steamwheedle Port and buy all the fish recipes i.e. Yellowtail, Winter Squid, and Nightfin, Sunscale Salmon Somewhere around 240 you'll fish out a book that allows you to "track" fish.

Fly to Feralas and buy the Mightfish, Dark Lobster recipe's.

Fish the stream at Feralas for Salmon and Nightfin until you get your fishing skill lvl to 300. Use your catch to lvl up your cooking. Go to Zangarmarsh to Cenarion Hold, (south of Swamprat post) and purchase book for fish skill up to 375. (he's on the southside of camp near the water).

You'll also be catching a few Redgill. Recipe for those is in STV.

Now go to Azhara, (north of Orgrimar) and fish for Dark Lobster, Squid, and Raw Mightfish (not glossy although you'll get some of those too). Use this catch to finish getting your cooking to above 300.

In Thrallamar you can purchase the book for cooking skill to 375. A recipe for Ravager flesh (minimum 300) is directly across from the Inn sold by Ol'one eye (or some such name).

You obviously don't have to do this in this order, (if you're already in Thrallamar buy the book while there, same with ravager recipe)

This was just meant to give an idea as to where everything is and approx lvl's. For example, when I went to Azhara my fishing skill was at 300 (out of possible 375) but couldn't fish until I attached a Dynamic fish attractor to my Nat Pagle fishing pole, once I reached 305 I could fish without the attractor but wouldn't catch anything.
Hope this helps!
If not,keep it to yourself!

Somewhere around L35 you'll fish out the book that allows you to track fishing pools. Fishing skill does not matter. I got my book from fishing the pools north of Grom'Gol in STV.

This will also help, you can bookmark/favorite it for all professions. Just remember it's to powerlevel, not necessarily to make money off(not that you'll make much money off any crafting skill at lower levels).

Edit: woot 300th post!

It can actually happen sooner than that. I was fishing wreckage pools at the Venture camp in Stonetalon and got the book at level 23, with a 152 fishing skill.

While it would be nice to have fishing and cooking at the same level, it's not really necessary. In fact, I feel that having your fishing at a much higher level makes it easier to up your cooking easier. It's not hard to level fishing, but it's very difficult to level cooking when you lose half of your catch because you are marginal or need lures for the fishing area.
