The Catfish is rated Advanced difficulty. A Fine Fishing Rod is recommended for this catch. The fish puts up a significant fight and changes direction frequently. Manage the line tension carefully by pulling opposite to the fish's movement, and only reel when the water is calm. Patience is key with advanced-tier species.
Cooking: Can be cleaned into Fish Fillet at a campfire or butchery station. Fish Fillet is the key ingredient in dishes like Fish Porridge, Battered Fish, Fish Skewers, and Grilled Meat and Fish.
Selling: Can be sold to vendors for a moderate price. Cooking the fish before selling increases its value.
Knowledge: Fills a Knowledge Codex entry under Freshwater Fish in the Creatures > Aquatic Creatures section.
Once discovered, use the Knowledge menu's "Open Map" feature to quickly locate this species again on your world map.
Selling cooked dishes made from fish is more profitable than selling the raw catch. Cook at the nearest campfire and sell in Hernand for a steady income.
