Aged Roe (+40%)
The Midnight Squid is a fish that can be caught in the submarine ride at the Night Market, which takes place at The Beach during Winter 15-17. It can also be caught by using Magic Bait in the southwest corner of the beach: From the left-most pier, in the southwestern corner, fish facing west.
In the submarine ride at the Night Market, there is a 21% chance to hook a Midnight Squid (17% if using a Curiosity Lure). If using Magic Bait in the southwest corner of the beach, there is a 3.3% chance to hook a Midnight Squid (10.2% if using a Curiosity Lure).[1]
When placed in a Fish Pond, Midnight Squid will produce Squid Ink instead of Roe. However, Midnight Squid Roe can be found in Fishing Treasure Chests after obtaining the power from the Jewels Of The Sea book.
