Fisch Fish Tier List (January 2026)

After 300+ hours in Fisch, I’ve caught thousands of fish. Some made me rich. Others were a complete waste of time. This tier list ranks every fish worth targeting so you stop wasting bait on garbage catches.

Quick reality check: not all fish are created equal. A single Scylla sells for more than 100 common fish combined. Knowing what to target at each location is the difference between grinding for weeks and actually progressing.

S-Tier Fish (The Money Makers)

These fish will make you rich. Target them whenever possible.

Fish	Location	Sell Price	Rarity
Scylla	Forsaken Shores	~140,000 C$	Mythical
Phantom Megalodon	Ancient Isle	~17,500 C$	Exotic
Megalodon	Ancient Isle	~15,000 C$	Exotic
Nessie	Frightful Pool	~12,000 C$	Mythical
Elder Mossjaw	Forsaken Shores	~8,000 C$	Legendary
Frostwyrm	Boreal Pines	~10,000 C$	Mythical

Scylla is the undisputed king. 140,000 C$ per catch. But here’s the thing, you need to beat the Scylla boss fight first to unlock the fishing spot. I died probably 20 times before I got it down. Worth it though.

Phantom Megalodon spawns during Megalodon Hunt events behind Ancient Isle. Look for the red storm clouds. I’ve caught maybe 5 total in 300 hours. They’re rare but the payout is insane.

Nessie appears in Frightful Pools during special events. The orange marker on your map shows where. Easier to catch than Scylla but still requires decent gear.

A-Tier Fish (Excellent Returns)

Solid money makers that are more consistent than S-tier.

Fish	Location	Sell Price	Rarity
Captain’s Goldfish	Forsaken Shores Pond	~5,000 C$	Mythical
Mossjaw	Forsaken Shores	~3,500 C$	Legendary
Ancient Coelacanth	Ancient Isle	~4,000 C$	Legendary
Abyssal Lurker	Mariana’s Veil	~6,000 C$	Legendary
Frostbite Shark	Boreal Pines	~4,500 C$	Legendary

Captain’s Goldfish is my favorite farm. It’s in the Forsaken Shores Pond, not the main ocean area. Mythical rarity but way easier to catch than other mythicals. I grind this spot when I need quick cash.

Mossjaw is the consolation prize when hunting Elder Mossjaw. Still pays out 3,500 C$ which is nothing to sneeze at.

B-Tier Fish (Good Value)

These won’t make you rich overnight but they’re worth catching.

Fish	Location	Sell Price	Rarity
Bull Shark	Roslit Bay	~800 C$	Rare
Nurse Shark	Roslit Bay	~600 C$	Rare
Manta Ray	Roslit Bay	~500 C$	Uncommon
Swordfish	Ocean	~700 C$	Rare
Giant Squid	The Depths	~1,200 C$	Rare
Arctic Char	Boreal Pines	~900 C$	Rare

Bull Shark is the early-mid game money maker. Roslit Bay is accessible early and Bull Sharks spawn consistently. I farmed these for probably 30 hours before moving to better spots.

Giant Squid in The Depths is solid if you have diving gear. Consistent spawns and decent value.

C-Tier Fish (Filler)

Catch these while waiting for better spawns. Don’t specifically target them.

Fish	Location	Sell Price	Rarity
Salmon	Moosewood	~50 C$	Common
Bass	Moosewood	~40 C$	Common
Trout	Moosewood	~35 C$	Common
Tuna	Ocean	~150 C$	Uncommon
Halibut	Roslit Bay	~200 C$	Uncommon

These are your bread and butter early game. Nothing exciting but they pay the bills until you can access better locations.

D-Tier Fish (Skip)

Not worth your time unless you’re completing the bestiary.

Fish	Location	Why Skip
Tiny Fish	Everywhere	Sells for like 5 C$
Jellyfish	Various	Low value, annoying to catch
Starfish	Shallow water	Basically worthless
Sea Cucumber	Ocean floor	Time waste

I caught hundreds of these early on because I didn’t know better. Don’t be me.

Best Fish by Location

Here’s what to target at each spot.

Moosewood (Early Game)

• Target: Salmon, Bass, Trout
• Skip: Tiny fish, Minnows
• Reality: Everything here is low value. Leave ASAP.

Roslit Bay (Mid Game)

• Target: Bull Shark, Nurse Shark, Manta Ray
• Skip: Common fish
• Best time: Night for sharks

The Depths (Mid-Late Game)

• Target: Giant Squid, Deep Sea fish
• Skip: Surface fish
• Requires: Diving equipment

Ancient Isle (Late Game)

• Target: Megalodon (during events), Ancient Coelacanth
• Skip: Common spawns
• Best time: During Megalodon Hunt events

Forsaken Shores (Endgame)

• Target: Scylla, Captain’s Goldfish, Elder Mossjaw
• Skip: Nothing here is bad
• Requires: Beat Scylla boss first

Mariana’s Veil (Endgame)

• Target: Abyssal Lurker, Deep sea legendaries
• Skip: Surface fish
• Requires: Submarine

Boreal Pines (New)

• Target: Frostwyrm, Frostbite Shark, Arctic Char
• Skip: Common frozen fish
• Requires: Cold resistance gear

Mutations Multiply Value

Here’s something most guides don’t mention. Mutations can multiply a fish’s value by 2-5x.

Mutation	Value Multiplier
Shiny	1.5x
Sparkling	2x
Albino	2.5x
Darkened	2x
Aurora	3x
Atlantean	3x

A Sparkling Bull Shark is worth more than a regular Swordfish. Keep this in mind when deciding what to sell.

The Trident Rod gives 30% of your catches the Atlantean mutation. That’s a 3x value boost on almost a third of your fish. Insane value.

My Personal Farming Route

After hundreds of hours, here’s my optimized route:

1. Start at Forsaken Shores Pond - Farm Captain’s Goldfish for 30-60 minutes
2. Check for Megalodon Hunt - If active, rush to Ancient Isle
3. Scylla runs - If I’m feeling lucky, attempt Scylla boss
4. Boreal Pines - New content, good XP and decent money
5. Back to Forsaken Shores - Repeat

I average about 500K C$ per hour with this route. Your mileage may vary depending on rod and enchants.

Quick Tips

Save rare baits for S-tier fish. I wasted so many Kraken Tentacle baits on common fish before I learned this lesson.

Use the Fish Radar. It shows where rare fish are spawning. Game changer for hunting specific catches.

Night time spawns different fish. Some legendaries only appear at night. Check the wiki for specific spawn conditions.

Weather matters. Rain, storms, and special weather events change what spawns. The Frostwyrm in Boreal Pines only appears during blizzards.
