Fish
All 12 vanilla fish can be caught with Deep Waters rods: Perch, Pike, Tuna, Tetra, Trollfish, Giant Herring, Grouper, Coral Cod, Pufferfish, Anglerfish, Northern Salmon and Magmafish. They live where vanilla spawns them, and landing one gives the normal vanilla item, so vanilla cooking, recipes and food all work. They also get a weight and size class, plus any extra drops vanilla gives. They bite Deep Waters bait like every other fish. The vanilla fishing rod and vanilla fishing baits are taken out of the game: no one sells them and they can't be crafted.
28 new fish to catch and eat, plus 3 bait fish. Weights are each species' maximum. Ocean and deep-ocean fish bite in any sea; fresh-water fish only in their biomes.
