The Canals are an area I would describe as possibly skippable, perhaps trainable. The area can be accessed from Shill Town by traveling to the Bored Guard and then 1 south.
It depends on your alignment really. If you are Air alignment most of the monsters here are Earth alignment so you'd want to train here. Especially since the Volcano is Fire align it would be easier to train here, skipping that area to train in the Clouds.
If you're Water alignment you'd be strong in the Volcano and completely weak in this area. Making that a case for training in this area absolutely worthless. Those of the Fire and Earth alignments would be better off training in the Volcano and skipping this area as well.
In any case the Canals require an Intelligence of 441, 490, or 539 depending on your race to enter.
The food dropped is BBQ Rat Toes by the Terror Rat, which can also be bought in the Vast Desert by the Traveling Merchant. So there is honestly not much reason to be here if you can avoid it.
