Fields of Mistria Fish Database

Welcome to the complete fish database for Fields of Mistria. Whether you are a dedicated angler trying to complete the museum collection, a chef looking for the best ingredients, or a farmer seeking extra income, this guide covers every fish species currently available in the game. Use the tables below to find exactly where and when to catch each fish, along with their base sell prices.

Understanding Fishing Mechanics

Before diving into the species list, it helps to know the basics. Fishing in Fields of Mistria uses a timing-based minigame. Different fish appear in specific locations, seasons, times of day, and weather conditions. Your fishing level and the quality of your rod also affect what you can catch. Higher-quality fish (Silver, Gold, Iridium) sell for more and are worth more for cooking.

Key Terms

  • Location: The specific body of water or area where the fish is found.
  • Season: The in-game season(s) the fish is available.
  • Time: The in-game time window when the fish is active.
  • Weather: Some fish only appear in rain, sun, or storms.
  • Sell Price: The base price for a normal-quality fish. Prices increase with quality.

Fish Uses

Fish are not just for selling. They have several important uses in Fields of Mistria:

  • Cooking: Many recipes require specific fish. Cooked meals provide energy, health, and temporary buffs.
  • Museum Donations: The museum curator accepts one of each species. Donating all fish unlocks special rewards.
  • Gifting: Some villagers love certain fish. For example, the fisherman NPC loves Catfish and Pike.
  • Fish Ponds: You can raise fish in ponds on your farm. They produce roe, which can be aged and sold for profit.
  • Quests: The town bulletin board occasionally requests specific fish for rewards.

Best Fish for Profit

If your goal is to make gold, focus on these high-value fish:

  1. Legendary Fish (The Ancient One) – 1,000g (Spring, Rain, Mountain Lake)
  2. Moon Jellyfish – 500g (Fall 28 only)
  3. Lava Eel – 450g (Volcanic Cave)
  4. Sea Turtle – 400g (Summer/Fall, Beach)
  5. Shark – 350g (Summer, Beach)

For consistent daily income, Catfish (80g) and Red Snapper (130g) are reliable options that are easier to catch.

Quick Tips

  • Upgrade your rod early: Better rods let you cast farther and catch rarer fish.
  • Use bait: Craft bait from bug meat to reduce bite time and increase catch rate.
  • Check the weather: Rain and snow unlock exclusive species. Always fish during bad weather.
  • Fish at different times: Many fish are only active at dawn, dusk, or night. Set reminders to check each time window.
  • Complete the museum: The rewards for donating all fish include a permanent fishing buff and a unique decoration.
  • Cook before selling: Some fish sell for more when cooked into dishes. Check the recipe book before selling raw fish.
  • Build a fish pond: Once you have a surplus of high-value fish like Sturgeon or Lava Eel, place them in a pond for passive roe income.
