Progression Strategy

How to move up through the rarity tiers efficiently.

Early Game (Trash → Rare)

Fish at starter biomes like Moosewood and The Ocean. Sell everything to build C$ for your first rod upgrade. Watch for Gem Anchovy (845 C$/kg) at Treasure Island and Butterfly (2,167 C$/kg) at Living Garden — both punch above their rarity in value.

Mid Game (Unusual → Legendary)

Unlock biomes like Crystal Cove and Roslit Bay for high-value catches. Crystal Lobster (Legendary, 133,333 C$/kg) and Stringed Grouper (Legendary, 116,667 C$/kg) at Crystal Cove are among the highest C$/kg in the entire game — target Rain + Night + Summer for Crystal Lobster. Start building toward Bestiary completion for rod unlocks.

Late Game (Mythical → Exotic)

Diamond Daisy (Mythical, 50,000 C$/kg at Living Garden) and Lithodes Megacantha (Exotic, 26,667 C$/kg at Crimson Cavern) are the endgame grind targets for consistent income. Exotic fish often need specific weather or bait — plan sessions around spawn windows.

Endgame (Secret → Divine Secret)

Blight Idol (Secret, 56,000 C$/kg at Toxic Grove during Autumn) and Banana (Secret, 18,500 C$/kg at Ancient Isle) are the top Secret catches by C$/kg. Apex fish like Akkorokamui (2M C$ average) are the ultimate trophy catches. Divine Secrets sell for almost nothing per kilogram but still average roughly 25,000 C$ per catch due to extreme weight. Focus on Bestiary completion — 70% unlocks the Destiny Rod purchase (190,000 C$) from Caleia at The Arch.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most valuable fish in Fisch?+

By average sell value per catch, Akkorokamui (Apex) is the highest at 2.0M C$. By C$/kg, Secret-tier fish like Blight Idol (56,000 C$/kg) and Legendary fish like Crystal Lobster (133,333 C$/kg) lead their tiers. The "best" depends on whether you optimize for value per catch or value per kilogram.

How many fish are in Fisch?+

The Fisch Bestiary currently tracks 1252 species across 12 main rarity tiers plus Limited, Special, and Extinct categories. Not all are required for Bestiary completion — Limited, Secret, and Divine Secret fish are excluded from the completion percentage.

What is C$/kg and why does it matter?+

C$/kg (cash per kilogram) is the base sell rate for each fish species. Your actual payout is C$/kg × weight × mutation multiplier. A fish with high C$/kg earns more per kilogram of weight, making it more valuable per catch on average. This tier list ranks by C$/kg because it is the fixed, species-specific factor you can target.

Do mutations affect fish value?+

Yes. Mutations multiply the base sell value of a fish. A mutated fish displays its mutation name and multiplier in the catch summary. Mutation multipliers are adjusted across updates — the in-game summary and Fisch Fandom wiki are the current-patch references.

Does time, weather, or season affect what I can catch?+

Yes. Many higher-rarity fish require specific time of day (Day/Night/Dusk), weather (Rain, Storm, Sandstorm), or season (Spring/Summer/Autumn/Winter) to spawn. This tier list shows the conditions required for each top fish. Plan your fishing sessions around these windows for the best results.

What is the difference between rarity and value?+

Rarity determines how often a species appears on your line — rarer fish spawn less frequently. Value (C$/kg) determines how much the merchant pays per kilogram. Generally, rarer fish have higher C$/kg, but there are exceptions. Some Legendary fish outperform certain Mythicals in C$/kg, and weight variance means a heavy Uncommon can outpay a light Rare.

Are Limited and Extinct fish included in this tier list?+

No. This tier list covers the 12 permanent rarity tiers from Trash through Divine Secret. Limited fish are event-exclusive and only obtainable during specific seasonal events. Extinct fish are no longer catchable at all. Neither category is required for Bestiary completion.

Where does this data come from?+

All fish data (rarity, C$/kg, weight, locations, spawn conditions) is auto-synced from the Fisch Fandom wiki via the {{Fish}} infobox templates. Last sync: August 12, 2026. We do not publish trade values — those are demand-driven and change constantly. Use community trading Discords for current trade prices.
