The Octopus is a fish that can be caught in the ocean at The Beach or on the Beach Farm during Summer or in the ocean on Ginger Island West during any season. It can also randomly be found in Garbage Cans during Summer, or at the Traveling Cart for data-sort-value="150"Gold.png450–1,000g. There is a 2.2% chance to hook an Octopus during the deep-sea submarine ride at the Night Market during Winter 15-17 (1.6% if using a Curiosity Lure).

Octopus can be caught regardless of time of day or season using Magic Bait.

The Octopus and the Stonefish are the only fish caught with a fishing rod that cannot be eaten unless used in a recipe.

Other than Legendary Fish, this is the most difficult fish to catch in the game.

Map

The Octopus can be found in the ocean at the Beach or the ocean on Ginger Island West.

 
 
 

Strategy

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 level 10, equip the Iridium Rod, eat a food that provides a fishing Buff, and attach a Trap Bobber or Cork Bobber to the fishing pole.

Octopus can be placed in a Fish Pond, where they will reproduce every 4 days. The initial pond capacity is 3 fish, but the capacity can be increased to 10 by completing three quests. The primary output is orange Octopus Roe, but Omni Geodes are also possible starting at population 9.
