'''Fish''' can be caught in oceans, lakes, rivers, and certain underground locations. Most fish can be caught with a [[Tools#Fishing Poles|fishing pole]]. The others require [[Crab Pot|crab pots]] to catch. Some fish spawn only at certain times of the day, during certain [[seasons]], or during certain [[weather]]. Upon catching a fish, the name of the fish and its length are displayed. Players can keep track of how many fish they've caught and their record lengths in their [[Collections#Fish|Collections menu]]. Fish can be used as ingredients in [[cooking]] and are required to restore the [[Bundles#Fish Tank|Fish Tank]] in the [[Community Center]].

While players can fish near any body of water, some places have lower rates of success. These areas are more likely to produce [[trash]], most of which can be turned into useful items using the [[Recycling Machine]] which unlocks at [[Fishing#Fishing Skill|fishing level 4]].

Whenever a fish is hooked, a minigame which allows the player to catch it is triggered. In this minigame, a fish-like icon moves up and down inside a vertical space. The player controls a green bar, which ascends while the left mouse button is pressed and drops while it's not. The green bar bounces when it reaches the bottom boundary of the minigame unless a [[Lead Bobber]] is equipped.

A catch meter increases while the fish is kept inside the green area and decreases while it's not. Once the catch meter is fulfilled, the fish is caught. The fish escapes if the meter becomes empty.

A catch meter increases while the fish is kept inside the green area and decreases while it's not. Once the catch meter is fulfilled, the fish is caught. The fish escapes if the meter becomes empty. If the player is using [[Challenge Bait]], the fish will escape if it leaves the green area three times.
   −
If the player catches a fish without letting it slip out the green area once, the catch is considered "perfect", and that word is displayed above the minigame. Perfection increases the fish quality provided the fish was at least silver quality initially: silver quality fish become gold quality and gold quality fish become iridium quality. It also increases fishing experience by a multiplicative factor of 2.4.

If the player catches a fish without letting it slip outside the green area once (or only letting it slip outside when catching a [[Fishing#Treasure Chest|treasure chest]] with a [[Treasure Hunter]] tackle equipped), the catch is considered "perfect", and that word is displayed above the minigame. A perfect catch increases the fish quality provided the fish was at least silver quality initially: silver quality fish become gold quality and gold quality fish become iridium quality. It also increases fishing experience by a multiplicative factor of 2.4.  
   −
It's only possible to know what fish is hooked after it's caught, as the minigame shows no information about the specimen. The player can, however, deduce it by observing its [[Fish#Behavior|behavior]] and knowing the circumstances under which the fish was hooked, such as [[Seasons|season]], [[Day Cycle|time]], [[weather]], and location. The only exception is with [[Fish#Legendary Fish|legendary fish]], which can be seen wearing an orange crown in the fishing minigame.

The high difficulty of these fish makes catching them challenging. Higher fishing skills than required just to hook the fish may be necessary, especially from food bonuses (''e.g.,'' from [[Seafoam Pudding]]). Having the [[Iridium Rod]] and using a [[Tackle]] such as the [[Trap Bobber]] or [[Cork Bobber]] can also help. Ultimately, catching these fish can depend more on luck than on good reactions. Simply try again and again until the fish doesn't move too fiercely.

===Crab Pot Fish===
Fish caught in crab pots are always normal quality are worth 5 fishing XP. Only [[Foraging|foraged]] fish can be of normal, silver, gold, or iridium quality and are affected by the [[Foraging#Foraging Skill|Botanist]] profession bonus. Some are only catchable using a baited [[Crab Pot]].

Fish caught in crab pots are usually normal quality and are worth 5 fishing XP. Crab pot fish will be silver quality if [[Deluxe Bait]] is used. Only [[Foraging|foraged]] fish can be of normal, silver, gold, or iridium quality and are affected by the [[Foraging#Foraging Skill|Botanist]] profession bonus. Some are only catchable using a baited [[Crab Pot]].
   −
All of these creatures can be used as components in the [[Bundles|Crab Pot bundle]]. [[Crab]]s drop from [[Rock Crab]]s (15%) and [[Lava Crab]]s (25%); [[Clam]]s, [[Cockle]]s, [[Mussel]]s, and [[Oyster]]s can be foraged on [[the Beach]]. Between beach [[foraging]] and Rock/Lava Crab loot it is possible to complete the Crab Pot bundle without the use of a crab pot. Baiting the rewarded crab pots, however, is only possible by reaching [[Fishing#Fishing Skill|fishing level 2]], viewing [[Linus]]' 4-Heart cutscene, or acquiring bait randomly from a [[Fishing#Treasure Chests|Fishing Treasure Chest]].

Items gathered via foraging or from monster drops will not count towards the [[Collections|Fish collection]] nor assigned a catch length. They must be caught using a [[Crab Pot]] to count. [[Cockle]]s, [[Oyster]]s, and [[Mussel]]s caught using a [[Tools#Fishing Poles|fishing pole]] on the [[Farm Maps#Beach|Beach Farm]] will also count towards the collection.

While none of these items can be eaten directly, all crab pot fish can be used in [[cooking]] recipes that require a "fish" and some have specific recipes of their own. Most catch of normal quality except Crab, Lobster, and Crayfish is worth less than {{Price|75}}, making it more profitable to turn them into [[Sashimi]] rather than to sell these items. (This changes with the [[Fishing#Fishing Skill|Fisher and Angler professions]] and the quality of foraged items.)<ref name="crabpot_chance" />
