'''Fish''' can be found in oceans, lakes, rivers, and certain underground locations. Most fish can be caught with a [[Tools#Fishing Poles|fishing pole]] while a few 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 them, 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]].
