Pink Wrasse

Pink Wrasse is a small-sized fish caught in the shallow waters around the Caribbean in Windrose. It is a Fishing pickup that processes into Fish Fillet, the universal cooked-fish ingredient used in dozens of Cooking recipes.

Flavor: Red like rum and green like deep-sea algae.

How to Catch

Pink Wrasse is caught with a Fishing Rod in shallow water tiles. Shallow-water tiles are the lighter blue patches that hug the coast, including reef and mangrove margins. Cast from a beach, a small boat, or the side of a docked ship over reef shallows. The same shallow rotation of six uncommon species shares these tiles: Blue Tang, Moon Angelfish, Queen Angelfish, Reef Snapper, Pink Wrasse, and Sapphire Wrasse. Red Snapper and Emerald Bluefish belong to the deep-water rotation instead.

Bait quality and rod tier raise the catch rate but do not affect which species bite. Higher-tier rods have shorter cast times and better tug response, which matters when several bite windows overlap on a busy fishing trip.

Shallow-Water Catch List

The full species roster runs to ten fish. The four deep-water catches, Emerald Bluefish and Red Snapper plus two Epic species, need a boat over darker, deeper tiles. Logging every species in the Master Fisherman collection rewards the Minor Fisherman Ring, which adds a 15% chance to reel in a bonus fish and upgrades to the Major Fisherman Ring at a 30% chance.

Uses

The primary use is processing into Fish Fillet at a kitchen Cookware station. Fish Fillet stacks high and feeds into recipes like Fish and Tostones, which sit at the top end of food buffs. Selling raw is generally a poor option compared to filleting first.

Every Fish Fillet feeds the same four cooked dishes, so a stack of Pink Wrasse is interchangeable with any other fillet fish at the Cookware Shelf. Larger fish yield more fillets per catch, but small shallow species like this one are the fastest early source while you build a stockpile.

Tips

Pink Wrasse weighs 0.2 kg per fish and stacks to 10, so it is one of the cheapest fish to carry. Shallow-water fishing also pairs well with shoreline foraging: anchor a small boat near a reef, fish through the rotation, then walk inland for plants and animal hunts.
