'''Fish''' are catchable when [[釣り]] using a [[どうぐ#.E9.87.A3.E5.85.B7|釣具]]. They can be found in the ocean, lake or river, and some are unique to either day or night or only appear when it [[rain]]s. Fish are used in [[料理]] and the fishing community center [[バンドル]]. The length of each fish type is recorded, and can be viewed on the collection screen.
Fishing can be done near any body of water, but some places have lower rates of fish. These areas have a higher chance to reel in junk, which can be sold for a small profit or saved and turned into useful items with the [[Recycling Machine|recycling machine]] (which unlocks with [[釣り|level 4 fishing]].)
There are five fish in the game classified as 'legendary'. These fish are caught under specific circumstances and have a high difficulty. With the exception of the Legend, legendary fish will not appear again after being caught once.
The highest fishing skill including food bonus e.g. from lobster bisque, the iridium rod, bait and a good tackle like the trap bobber could be necessary. Catching the most difficult of them depends more on luck than on good reactions. You simply have to try again and again until once the fish doesn't move too fiercely.
Note: Please refer to the Discussion before editing Legend to all seasons.

Some fish are only catchable using a baited Crab Pot. All of these creatures can be used as components in the Crab Pot Bundle. All can be used in Cooking. Crabs also drop from Rock Crabs (15%) and Lava Crabs (25%). Clams, Cockles, Mussels and Oysters can also be foraged on the beach.
Between beach foraging and Rock 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 not possible without first reaching level two in fishing.
Note that any fish dropped by monsters or foraged shellfish do not count towards the fish collection. They must be caught with a pole or in a crab pot.
All Crab Pot fishes are worth 5 XP.
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. All 3 can be used in cooking, most notably Seaweed in the Maki Roll recipe for the Chef's bundle.
