[[Trash]], [[Green Algae]], [[White Algae]], [[Seaweed]], [[River Jelly]], [[Sea Jelly]], and [[Cave Jelly]] caught with the fishing pole earn 3 XP each, and crab pots earn the player 5 XP each time the player collects from them, no matter what is collected. Otherwise, for each catch of fish, the amount of experience earned is as follows: <ref name="fishexp" />

[[Trash]], [[Green Algae]], [[White Algae]], [[Seaweed]], [[River Jelly]], [[Sea Jelly]], and [[Cave Jelly]] caught with the fishing pole earn 3 XP each, and crab pots earn the player 5 XP each time the player collects from them, no matter what is collected.

Otherwise, for each catch of fish, the amount of experience earned is as follows: <ref name="fishexp" />

<code>XP = ((Fish Quality + 1) * 3) + (Fish Difficulty / 3)</code>

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Note: The first few levels of fishing cannot normally be completed with [[Crab Pot]]s, because the player does not have access to [[Bait]] until level 2 and Crab Pots until level 3. However, the recipe for [[Wild Bait]] can be earned by befriending [[Linus]] and viewing his [[Linus#Four Hearts|four heart cutscene]]. Three crab pots can be earned at any Fishing Level by completing the {{Bundle|Crab|16|y}}. Completing the bundle without playing the fishing mini-game (or using crab pots) requires 4 fish foraged from the beach and 1 crab obtained by killing crabs in the mines.
