Moonlight Peaks Fish List: All 22 Fish, Locations & How to Catch Them

Fishing in Moonlight Peaks is one of the game’s quiet pleasures — a rod, a moonlit shore, and 22 strange little fish to pull out of the dark. This is the complete fish list: every species, where it lives, how rare it is, the exact conditions it needs, and what it’s worth. If you’re chasing the Fishing Pro achievement (catch them all), this is your checklist. For the fishing mechanic itself — rods, casting, the bite — see the fishing & foraging guide.

Where to fish: the six waters

Every fish is tied to a spot, so knowing the map is half the battle. The six fishing areas are:

• Silverveil Lake (and the rivers that flow into it) — the busiest waters, and where most of your variety lives.
• Luna Bay — the coast; home to the conditional, atmospheric catches.
• Pink Grove — the Love Demon’s rosy meadow; holds the valuable Amour.
• Howling Marshes — werewolf country.
• Moonlit Pines — its river hides the game’s biggest fish.
• Underground Waters — cave fishing, reached through the Catacombs.

See where these sit on the map & fast-travel guide.

Every fish in Moonlight Peaks

All 22 species, sortable by what you need. A dash (–) marks a value that varies by the individual catch. Where wiki.gg lists more than one energy or sell value without naming the tiers, this guide preserves the values with a slash instead of inventing a quality label.

The conditional catches — the ones that trip up Fishing Pro

Most fish just need the right place, but a handful also demand the right moment. These are the ones players hunt for last, so plan a trip around each:

• 🌅 Daybreaker — mornings, in Moonlit Pines.
• 🌆 Twilight — early evening, at Luna Bay.
• 🌧️ Mouthout — only while it’s raining at Silverveil Lake (tip: the Tomorrow’s Tears spell makes it rain the next night, so you can summon your own weather window).
• 🌕 Moonflutter — only on a full moon, at Luna Bay.
• ❄️ Fortipod — winter only, at Silverveil Lake.
• 🌸 Goldy — spring and summer, in the rivers into Silverveil Lake.

That rain tip is the sleeper: pairing Tomorrow’s Tears with a Silverveil Lake trip turns the game’s one weather-locked fish from a waiting game into a plan.

Best fish for money — and the mystery of the Missing

If you’re fishing for coins, two names matter. The Missing is the white whale: wiki.gg now places it in the Cave of Echoes and reports 750 / 940 coins with 15 / 19 energy. The page still ties it to the secret Missing? No! achievement, so treat the cave as the starting point, not a guarantee that you can brute-force it immediately.

Among fish you can reliably target, the Skullfin (Underground Waters, Rare) now leads at 350 coins, ahead of Pink Grove’s Amour (280). For an easier early target, Brickle is 80 coins in the Howling Marshes and Mouthout is 100 at Silverveil Lake when it rains. Multiple values in a cell are displayed exactly as wiki.gg reports them because its table does not label the tiers. Processing crops can still be the more scalable income route; see the money guide.

Don’t just sell them — cook and gift them

Fish aren’t only for coins. Several are cooking ingredients: an Orbis goes into a Fishy Burger, and a Violet becomes Violet Sashimi — see the cooking & recipes guide. A few residents also like a fish as a gift (Noel’s tastes run fishy), so check the gifts & friendship guide before you sell your whole catch. And every new species you land fills a page in your in-game Almanac on the way to Fishing Pro.
