Catfish is one of the many fish you can find in Fields of Mistriabut if you don’t know where to look, it can be hard to find.
Early in the game, Hemlock will ask you via the request board to fetch him a catfish in exchange for a recipe that will teach you how to make breaded catfish.
Below we explain where you can find catfish Fields of Mistriaand what else you can use them for.
Where to find catfish in Fields of Mistria
You can catch catfish in any ponds all year round. If you have trouble distinguishing what is a pond and what is not, look for water lilies floating in the water, which is a pretty good indicator. There are many ponds in the southern part of the Eastern Road map (the area east of the city).
Catfish specifically come from medium shadows in the water, which admittedly are hard to tell apart from the large shadows unless there is a large shadow nearby to compare them to directly. Just keep going and casting to these medium shadows until you catch a catfish. If you don’t see any medium shadows, you can leave the map and come back to refresh the fish spawns.
To be honest, fishing in the ponds can be quite tricky, because even with the maximum rod (the silver rod, at the time of writing), there will often be times when the fish swims too far away for you to cast. You just have to be patient when this happens.
What are catfish used for?
Outside of the first quest where they are asked, you can use catfish to cook breaded catfish. When cooked with flour and oil, it will create an item that heals 64 HP and stamina, which isn’t too bad. Reina is very fond of breaded catfish, so you can use this item to improve your relationship with her. Otherwise, you can sell the fish for 80 Tesserae each.
