Since its release in March 2020, Animal Crossing: New Horizons has become one of the most popular and widely-played Nintendo Switch games of all time. With its easy-to-learn mechanics and calming atmosphere, the game has attracted a huge fan base of players around the world. One of the game’s most charming features is its large variety of sea creatures, ranging from fish to invertebrates to deep-sea monsters. Below is an Animal Crossing: New Horizons sea creatures complete list and price guide.
Fish
The majority of sea creatures you can catch in Animal Crossing: New Horizons are fish, ranging from common species like carp and catfish to rarer catches such as sharks and coelacanths. The exact type, size, and price vary depending on your island’s local climate. Smaller fish tend to be more common and sell for less money than their larger counterparts. In addition, some fish are only available during certain times of the year or in specific bodies of water on your island.
