Doloc Town Money Guide: Fish Prices and Profitable Processing

A practical three-stage route

1. 01

   Opening: use repeatable fishing and scavenging to create cash flow, but keep quest materials and one unknown specimen before shipping a full stack.

2. 02

   Processing: route cheap fish into Dried FishDried FishA processed fish product whose profit depends on the input fish price. or Grilled FishGrilled FishA basic processed fish dish best reserved for inexpensive fish. only when the finished 35–50 G value exceeds the raw catch and the labor is worth it.

3. 03

   Scaling: keep reliable crops, fishing, and livestock feeding processors; then ship the valuable output in the Deep Dry Season when storage and cash flow allow.

Why the most expensive fish is not always the best farm

Price is only one variable. Shining Goldfish stays near a 5% hook rate in formal version records, Mahi-mahiMahi-mahiThe highest-priced wild fish in the site's current checked table. is limited to the Deep Dry Season at the town docks, and Emperor TunaTunaA valuable saltwater fish used in the checked price table. is breeding-only with a three-day egg and seven-day growth cycle. Compare availability, rod requirement, stamina, season, and breeding time before turning a high sticker price into a daily-profit claim.

Checked value-add options

• SushiSushiA cooking recipe made from rice and seaweed in the checked table. turns Kelp plus Rice into 155 G, a 40 G increase over the two raw inputs.
• A Tea BagTea BagA processed tea product used in the money comparison table. sells for 130 G, adding 45 G over the raw Tea Leaf and outperforming Herbal Tea as a sale item in the current record.
• Dried Meat turns 60 G of Raw Meat into a 200 G product, a 140 G increase; it is a strong processor loop once available.
• Never use an expensive fish in generic Grilled FishGrilled FishA basic processed fish dish best reserved for inexpensive fish.: the finished item is only 50 G.
