Fishing tips

Players who wish to get anchovies or the corresponding aberration, Anchovy King, may easily do so by equipping the Heavy-Duty or Radiant Trawl Net and spinning around on the spot east of the small island south of Twisted Strand (in f10 top left corner where it says that there are few fish). This location seems to almost exclusively give anchovies, making it an intensely valuable farming location.

Real-Life Counterpart

• The Anchovy (Engraulis spp.) is a small, schooling fish found in temperate and tropical waters around the world. They have slender, silver bodies and typically grow up to 20 cm (8 in) in length. Anchovies are known for their strong, salty flavor and are often used as a key ingredient in dishes like Caesar salad and pizza. They are an important part of the marine food web, serving as prey for many larger fish and seabirds. While anchovy populations are generally abundant, they are susceptible to fluctuations due to environmental changes and overfishing.

Trivia

• Before the release of The Pale Reach DLC, the Anchovy was the only fish that could be exclusively caught by the Heavy Duty Trawl Net.
• The Anchovy is the shortest fish in the game.
