There are plenty of fish in the sea, and catching each one can take some time. Whether you're trying to go for 100% completion or not, knowing all Stardew Valley fish types can help you out. We have all the info you need below, including sale prices, locations, time-of-day availability, and more!

All Fish Types in Stardew Valley

Stardew Valley Fish Collection screenshot The primary way to get any type of fish in Stardew Valley is using a good old-fashioned Fishing Pole. Head to a body of water, cast a line, and you'll be fishing in no time. The more fish you catch, the more XP you'll gain, and the greater your fishing skill will become. When you catch a fish, there's a chance that the fish will have a different type of rarity. Based on that rarity, the fish will be worth a different amount of gold. These are all of the rarities your catches of the day can be:
  • Normal (No Star) - Base Value
  • Silver Star - Slightly More Valuable (around 20%)
  • Gold Star - Significantly More Valuable (around
  • Iridium Star - Twice as Valuable
Additionally, you can make even more money from selling fish once you hit Fishing Level 5 and Fishing Level 10. At level 5, you can choose to specialize in the Fisher Profession. This gives you a 25% increase on all fish you sell. At level 10, you can grab the Angler Profession for a 50% increase on all fish prices.

Stardew Valley Fishing Pole Fish

Fishing Pole Fish are, as the name implies, any fish that you can capture simply by casting a line in a body of water. Some fish are only available in certain locations, during specific windows of time, during specific seasons, and during specific weather conditions.
