Fish
All 11 fish you can catch at the beach, with their prices, the rod each one needs, and what they are used for.
Fish are items you catch with a fishing rod along the Western Beach. You can sell them for gold, and many of them are ingredients for better rods and bigger gardens.
All Fish
Better rods open more fish. Sell your catch to Silas or Kalt.

Catch Chances
Every bite is a fish, and the rod you use decides which fish you can get. This table shows how likely each fish is. Shells, pebbles, gems, seeds, and other finds come from the treasure chests that appear during a fight instead. See Fishing.

Tips
- Fish bite at any time of day and in any weather.
- Rarer fish put up a longer, harder fight, so expect a tougher catch challenge for a Swordfish than for a Sardine.
- Big fish cast big shadows. Watch the shadow that swims to your bobber to guess what is coming.
- Keep the fish inside the green bar the whole time for a Perfect catch, which gives you 2 fish.
- Keep the fish you need for your next rod before you sell the rest.
