The '''Octopus''' is a [[fish]] that can be caught in the ocean at [[The Beach]] during [[Summer]] or in the ocean on [[Ginger Island]] West during any season. It can also randomly be found in [[Garbage Can]]s during Summer or at the [[Traveling Cart]] for {{tprice|150}}. There is a 2.2% chance to hook an Octopus during the deep-sea submarine ride at the [[Night Market]] during [[Winter]] 15-17.

This is one of the most difficult fish to catch in the game, even compared to [[Fish#Legendary Fish|Legendary Fish]].  To make it even more demanding, the odds of an octopus biting are very rare, and the window of time available to catch it is comparatively small. The most sure-fire tactic is to reach [[Fishing#Fishing Skill|fishing level 10]], equip the [[Iridium Rod]], eat a [[Seafoam Pudding]], [[Dish O' The Sea]], [[Lobster Bisque]], or [[Fish Stew]], and attach a [[Trap Bobber]] or [[Lead Bobber]] to the fishing pole.  Using a combination of a maxed out fishing level and the [[Iridium Rod]] is often insufficient.

This is an extremely difficult fish to catch, even compared to Legendary Fish.  To make it more demanding, the chances of hooking an octopus and the window of time to catch it are very small. The most efficient way to try to catch this is to reach [[Fishing#Fishing Skill|fishing level 10]], equip the [[Iridium Rod]], eat a food that provides a fishing [[Buffs|Buff]], and attach a [[Trap Bobber]] or [[Cork Bobber]] to the fishing pole.
