How this is ranked

Rankings are based on C$/kg — the base sell rate each fish species pays at the merchant. Your actual payout is C$/kg × weight × mutation multiplier. Prices are Official Fisch Wiki data synced September 15, 2026; the roster, rarity and spawn conditions come from the Fisch Fandom wiki {{Fish}} infoboxes (synced September 26, 2026). Both re-sync daily. Trade values are NOT included — they are demand-driven and change constantly. This is a data-driven ranking, not an editorial opinion chart.

Rarity Tier Overview

Fisch organizes its 1258 species into rarity tiers. Higher-rarity fish spawn less often, require better rods and specific conditions, but pay significantly more per kilogram. Your progression path moves upward through these tiers as you unlock new biomes and upgrade your gear.

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 Butterfly (Rare, 2,166.7 C$/kg at Living Garden per the Official Fisch Wiki) — it punches well above its rarity in value.

Mid Game (Unusual → Legendary)

Unlock biomes like Crystal Cove and Roslit Bay for high-value catches. Crystal Lobster (Legendary) and Stringed Grouper (Legendary) are solid mid-game targets — the Official Fisch Wiki lists base prices of 1,838 C$ at 60 kg and 1,500 C$ at 60 kg. Start building toward Bestiary completion for rod unlocks.

Late Game (Mythical → Exotic)

Diamond Daisy (Mythical, Living Garden, 6,250 C$ base price) and Lithodes Megacantha (Exotic, Crimson Cavern, 7,475 C$ base price) are solid income targets per the Official Fisch Wiki. Exotic fish often need specific weather or bait — plan sessions around spawn windows.

Endgame (Secret → Divine Secret)

Blight Idol (Secret, 56,000 C$/kg at Toxic Grove) and Banana (Secret, 5,688 C$/kg at Ancient Isle) are high C$/kg catches. Apex fish like Akkorokamui (15,000 C$ average per the Official Fisch Wiki) are trophy catches more than income. Divine Secrets sell for almost nothing per kilogram but can still pay tens of thousands of 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?+

Per the Official Fisch Wiki data synced September 15, 2026, Olympian Devil (Secret) has the highest average sell value of any permanent fish at 77,500 C$. By C$/kg, Blight Idol (Secret) pays 56,000 C$/kg. The "best" depends on whether you optimize for value per catch or value per kilogram — see the Fisch value list for mutations.

How many fish are in Fisch?+

The Fisch Bestiary currently tracks 1258 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?+

The fish roster, rarity, locations and spawn conditions sync from the Fisch Fandom wiki's {{Fish}} infoboxes (last sync September 26, 2026). Sell prices (C$/kg and average value) come from the Official Fisch Wiki, re-synced daily (last sync September 15, 2026), because Fandom's prices disagreed with it for headline fish. The explanatory text was last reviewed September 14, 2026. Trade values are community-set; see our Fisch value list.
