Your Catches

Quality

Fish are graded Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic or Legendary. Anything above Common sparkles, more so at higher tiers. Higher quality means a bigger fish and a harder fight, and it matters for quests, records and Marine Compost.

Bait affects quality most, especially Gummy Worms. The Iron Hook helps a little. See Rod Gear.

Size

Size is shown in centimetres on the tooltip and rolled per catch. Quality scales it in proportion to the species: a Legendary averages about 1.6× a Common of the same species. Some quests require a minimum size, and bests are tracked per species.

Treasure

Some targets are treasure chests. Treasure rolls a quality like a fish does, which decides the loot:

Quality Loot
Common Worms, sometimes trash
Uncommon Copper Fishing Rod, Rusted Hook, Little Fish Box, Angler's Almanac, specialist bait
Rare Enchanted book, Iron Hook, Golden Hook, Gummy Worms, Blazed Grub
Epic Amethyst, Crystal Ball, Four-Leaf, Luna or Banana Charm
Legendary A stack of fish tanks with random materials and shape

More treasure: Blazed Grub makes half your targets treasure, the Golden Hook adds to your chance, and the Four-Leaf Charm multiplies the total by 1.5. The Rusted Hook removes treasure entirely.

Trash

Sea Glass, Old Tires and Plastic Litter count toward the Cleanup goal and can be processed:

Trash Becomes How
Sea Glass Glass Smelt
Old Tire Coal Smelt
Plastic Litter String Stonecutter

Fishing with no bait gives a lot of trash. The Iron Hook reduces it, and the Rusted Hook increases it.

Uses for fish

Use How
Display Right-click a fish tank with the fish. See Fish Tanks.
Eat Cooks into cooked cod in a furnace, smoker or campfire.
Compost Craft with dirt into Marine Compost to farm worms. Better fish give more worms.
Craft Fish + book = Quest Book. Fish + crafting table = Fish Tank Assembly. Electric Eel ringed with planks and copper = Electric Fish Organizer.

Pile of Fish

Holds many fish in one slot. Each fish has its own size and quality, so fish don't stack normally.

  • Start one: pick up a fish and click it onto another.
  • Gather: double-click a fish to pull every matching fish on screen into a pile.
  • Tanks: right-click a tank to add the pile's top fish. Shift-right-click to pull the top fish back out.
  • Automatic: the Little Fish Box charm piles catches for you from anywhere in your inventory.

Fish Pile (on the ground)

Right-click the top of a solid block with a pile or a fish to start a stack on the ground. Shift-right-click it to take one back.

Electric Fish Organizer

A double-chest-sized container for fish and piles only. It folds everything into one pile per species, and hoppers can feed it. Click the sort button to sort by species, quality, size or zone.

Records

Once a species' size section is open, its encyclopedia entry shows your best and the server best.

Press L, use a Leaderboards Book or run /fishtastic to see your catch counts, your biggest catches, the top anglers and the server's biggest fish.
