The Sunfish is a fish that can be caught in the river (in Pelican Town or Cindersap Forest) during Spring and Summer during sunny weather. It may also be caught on the Riverlands Farm, Forest Farm, or Hill-top Farm. It can also be gifted by a pet cat with max friendship. It may also randomly be found at the Traveling Cart for 100–1,000g or in Garbage Cans during Spring and Summer.
The Sunfish replaces any ineligible fish or non-fish items for the tutorial catch.
One Sunfish is contained in the Community Center Fish Tank right after it is repaired.
Sunfish can be caught regardless of weather, time, or season using Magic Bait.
