How to use the fish price guide

  1. Filter by location you have access to - Manor River is available from the start; the Reef, Occult Cave and Swamp come later.
  2. Filter by season so you don’t plan around fish that won’t bite for months.
  3. Set your fishing level to hide out-of-reach species, and check the bait column before you craft.
  4. Sort by coins per XP for the best value per cast, or by price for pure money goals.

What makes this guide different

How this guide works

Data. Fish species, locations, seasons, times, weather, bait, fishing levels, base prices and exp values come from the wiki’s Fish page, verified 2026-10-07. Prices are base quality; star-quality fish prices are undocumented on the wiki.

Formula. Coins per XP = price ÷ fishing exp. It’s the honest way to compare a cheap high-exp catch against a rare low-exp trophy when you’re also leveling the skill.

Limitations. (1) Catch rates per cast aren’t published, so expected value per bait can’t be computed. (2) Prices are base quality only. (3) The Stall in the Courtyard sells some fish for coins - buying prices aren’t included here.

Frequently asked questions

Which fish sells for the most in Harvest Town?

The Sea Fish King at 15,243 coins (base price, caught at Reef/Abyssal(Occult Sand) with Bait for Fish King, fishing level 40). Fish kings are the jackpot catches - everything else on the table is steady income.

Which fish is best for leveling fishing skill?

Efficiency (coins per point of fishing exp) is how to compare bait value: Sea Fish King leads at about 71.6 coins per XP. If you only care about speed to the next level, sort the table by Fishing exp and fish the highest-exp species you can catch.

Do I need bait to catch fish?

No - but fishing without bait makes catches take longer, lowers catch rates and increases junk. Each species lists its preferred bait (Primary, Middle, Juicy or Fish King bait); matching the bait to the species is the reliable strategy according to the wiki.

Where do I catch each fish?

The Location column shows the exact spot: Manor River, Town River, Eastern Town lake, Mountain Top, Beach, the Reef/Abyssal sand, Abandoned Factory, Occult Cave and the Swamp. Filter by location to plan a trip.

Do fish prices change with quality?

The wiki publishes base prices only for fish. Catch quality stars exist, but per-tier fish prices haven’t been documented - treat the values here as minimums and tell us if you see higher tiers in-game.

What are the Fish Kings?

Seven ancient fish kings (one per water type) are rare, level-40+ catches with huge prices - the River Fish King alone sells for 5,732 coins. They need special “Bait for Fish King” and often rain or a narrow time window; the table shows each one’s exact conditions.
