At any time in the game you can open the game’s menu and visit the “Collection” section, there you can also see a full list of all available fish. Once you’ve caught a fish, it’s no longer grayed out and appears in full color. You might want to try and complete gathering fish after visiting the entire valley.

It is important to consider which fish are worth selling and which are worth keeping to cook or eat right away. For example, since seaweed and perch have almost the same value but the perch has a much higher energy value, it might be worth keeping the seaweed to sell and eat the perch if you run out of energy.

How to unlock Moiana’s fishing boat

Moana is one of the first characters you can unlock in Disney Dreamlight Valley. Once you’ve removed the large thorns at the entrance and gained access to the castle, you can finally enter the characters’ realms and take them back to the valley. This is exactly how you unlock Moana – you visit Moana’s realm, help her and Maui, and then bring her with you after laying down her house.

As soon as you bring Moiana back to the valley you can talk to her right away and she already has a quest for you – You don’t need to increase your friendship level. She saw a broken boat on the beach that can be easily repaired. After this interaction You will initiate the Repair the Boat quest. Moana needs your help collecting materials to fix the boat, that’s what you need to collect 50 softwood, 70 fibers and three pink hydrangeas

Softwood can be found pretty much everywhere on the lawn and plaza as there are trees and bushes everywhere. Fiber is made from seaweed, one seaweed can be turned into five fibers – you may need to grind while fishing while avoiding the waves as they will always grant you fish (unfortunately you will still encounter perch while fishing without hitting the waves aim .) And finally, pink hydrangeas are scattered all over Dazzle Beach.

Once you’ve gotten all the necessary ingredients, access a crafting station and start crafting three rustic wooden boxes, three baskets and four ropes. Give Moiana everything and she repaired the boat and turned it into a fishing boat in no time. This allows Moana to go out to sea and collect fish from time to time.

You can upgrade the boat three times by using the Scrooge McDuck shield next to it, once for 1,000 Star Coins, then for 2,000 Star Coins and finally for 3,500 Star Coins. This will greatly improve its efficiency, meaning it will catch more fish, bring them in more often, and there will be fewer fish than before.
