'''Fish''' can be found in the ocean, lakes, rivers, and in certain levels of the [[The Mines|mines]]. Most fish can be caught with a [[Tools#Fishing Poles|fishing pole]] (see [[fishing]]) but some require [[Crab Pot|crab pots]] to catch them. Some fish only spawn at certain times of the day while others only appear when it [[Weather|rains]]. 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]].
'''Fish''' can be caught in oceans, lakes, rivers, and certain underground locations. Most fish can be caught with a [[Tools#Fishing Poles|fishing pole]]. The others 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 a fish, the name of the fish and its length are displayed.

While players can fish near any body of water, some places have lower rates of success. These areas are more likely to produce junk, which can be sold for a small profit or saved and turned into useful items using the [[Recycling Machine|recycling machine]] (which unlocks with [[Fishing|level 4 fishing]].)
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]].
All fish can be caught regardless of weather, time, or season using [[Magic Bait]].

[[File:Fishingicons.png|thumb|right|200px|The fishing mini-game]]
Whenever a fish is hooked, a minigame which allows the player to catch it is triggered. In this minigame, a fish-like icon moves up and down inside a vertical space. The player controls a green bar, which ascends while the left mouse button is pressed and drops while it's not. The green bar bounces when it reaches the bottom boundary of the minigame unless a [[Lead Bobber]] is equipped.
A catch meter increases while the fish is kept inside the green area and decreases while it's not. Once the catch meter is fulfilled, the fish is caught. The fish escapes if the meter becomes empty.
If the player catches a fish without letting it slip out the green area once, the catch is considered "perfect", and that word is displayed above the minigame. Perfection increases the fish quality provided the fish was at least silver quality initially: silver quality fish become gold quality and gold quality fish become iridium quality. It also increases fishing experience by a multiplicative factor of 2.4.
It is usually only possible to know what fish is hooked after it's caught, as the minigame shows no information about the specimen. The player can, however, deduce it by observing its [[Fish#Behavior|behavior]] and knowing the circumstances under which the fish was hooked, such as [[Seasons|season]], [[Day Cycle|time]], [[weather]], and location. The only exception is with [[Fish#Legendary Fish|legendary fish]], which can be seen wearing an orange crown in the fishing minigame. Players can also use the [[Sonar Bobber]] to see what fish will be caught.
Upon catching a fish, the name of the fish and its size are displayed. If the player got a new record length for the fish, an animation saying "New record!" is shown. Upon catching a legendary fish, a message saying "You've caught one of the legendary fish." is shown.

===Legendary Fish===
There are five fish in the game classified as 'legendary'. These fish are caught in specific places and have a high difficulty. When reeling them in, these fish are shown wearing a hat. Legendary fish will not appear again on a save file after being caught once. In [[Multiplayer]], the fish can be caught once per person. the fish will Legendary fish can be caught at any time of day.
There are five fish in the game classified as "legendary". These fish are caught in specific places and have a high difficulty. These fish are shown wearing a crown during the fishing minigame. Legendary fish can only be caught once per save file, or once per player in [[Multiplayer]].
The [[Lost Books|Lost Book]] named ''[[Lost Books#Secrets of the Legendary Fish|Secrets of the Legendary Fish]]'' contains the seasons and locations of the legendary fish.
The high difficulty of these fish makes catching them challenging. Higher fishing skills than required just to hook the fish may be necessary, especially from food bonuses (''e.g.,'' from [[Seafoam Pudding]]). Having the [[Iridium Rod]] and using a [[Tackle]] such as the [[Trap Bobber]] or [[Cork Bobber]] can also help. Ultimately, catching these fish can depend more on luck than on good reactions. Simply try again and again until the fish doesn't move too fiercely.
It is impossible to catch these fish while [[Mr. Qi]]'s [[Quests#Extended Family|Extended Family]] quest is active because the corresponding [[Fish#Legendary Fish II|Legendary Fish II]] fish will be hooked instead.

===Legendary Fish II===
There are five legendary fish II that can be caught during [[Mr. Qi|Qi]]'s [[Quests#Extended Family|Extended Family]] quest. They are caught in the same locations and have the same difficulties as the older generation of fish. Note that the fishing bar is the standard fish bar and not distinctly marked as it is with the original legendary fish. In addition, unlike the original legendary fish, it is possible to catch these fish more than once, and they do not share the same experience multiplicative factor of 5.
It is impossible to catch them when the quest is not active. The percent chances of hooking these fish are the same as for the original legendaries. Catching these fish is not required to obtain the [[Achievements|Master Angler achievement]].

===Crab Pot Fish===
===Crab Pot Fish===
Fish caught in crab pots are always normal quality and are worth 5 fishing XP. Only [[Foraging|foraged]] fish can be of normal, silver, gold, or iridium quality and are affected by the [[Foraging#Foraging Skill|Botanist]] profession bonus. Some are only catchable using a baited [[Crab Pot]].
All crab pot fish can be used in [[Cooking]]. Some recipes require a specific fish while others can use "any fish." It is more profitable to cook all normal quality catches (other than Crab, Lobster, and Crayfish) into [[Sashimi]] than to sell them uncooked. (This changes with the [[Fishing#Fishing Skill|Fisher and Angler Professions]].)
All of these creatures can be used as components in the [[Bundles|Crab Pot bundle]]. [[Crab]]s drop from [[Rock Crab]]s (15%) and [[Lava Crab]]s (25%); [[Clam]]s, [[Cockle]]s, [[Mussel]]s, and [[Oyster]]s can be foraged on [[the Beach]]. Between beach [[foraging]] and Rock/Lava Crab loot it is possible to complete the Crab Pot bundle without the use of a crab pot. Baiting the rewarded crab pots, however, is only possible by reaching [[Fishing#Fishing Skill|fishing level 2]], viewing [[Linus]]' 4-Heart cutscene, or acquiring bait randomly from a [[Fishing#Treasure Chests|Fishing Treasure Chest]].
Items gathered via foraging or from monster drops will not count towards the [[Collections|Fish collection]] nor assigned a catch length. They must be caught using a [[Crab Pot]] to count. [[Cockle]]s, [[Oyster]]s, and [[Mussel]]s caught using a [[Tools#Fishing Poles|fishing pole]] on the [[Farm Maps#Beach|Beach Farm]] will also count towards the collection.
[[Foraging|Foraged]] fish can be of normal, silver, gold, or iridium quality. Fish caught in crab pots are always normal quality.
While none of these items can be eaten directly, all crab pot fish can be used in [[cooking]] recipes that require a "fish" and some have specific recipes of their own. Most catch of normal quality except Crab, Lobster, and Crayfish is worth less than {{Price|75}}, making it more profitable to turn them into [[Sashimi]] rather than to sell these items. (This changes with the [[Fishing#Fishing Skill|Fisher and Angler professions]] and the quality of foraged items.)<ref name="crabpot_chance" />

There are some consumable non-junk catches players can reel in while fishing. They do not trigger the fishing mini-game, but are instead immediately picked up. Each gives 3 [[Fishing]] XP when caught. All three can be used in cooking, most notably [[Seaweed]] in the [[Maki Roll]] recipe for the [[Bundles#Bulletin Board|Chef's bundle]].

<ref name="crabpot_chance">Crab pot contents are determined by <samp>CrabPot::DayUpdate</samp>. For mariners, there is no chance of junk, and all creatures are equally likely.
