In the world of Stardew Valley, the tiger trout stands out as a unique hybrid fish that boasts all the characteristics of its ancestors, including gills and fins. Despite its rarity, this fish is not capable of reproducing offspring.
To successfully catch a tiger trout, you’ll need to venture to river locations such as the stream flowing through Pelican Town and Cindersap Forest. This fish can also be found in the Meadowlands, Forest, Riverlands, and Hill-Top farms. However, the only seasons in which tiger trout can be caught are spring, summer, and fall. If you’re determined to catch one during an off-season, using Magic Bait can increase your chances.
Aside from catching tiger trout through fishing, you can occasionally encounter them for sale at Krobus’ shop in the sewers on Wednesdays for 200G or at the traveling cart for a price ranging from 450G to 1000G.
Once you’ve successfully caught a tiger trout, you can put it to various uses. It can be turned into a tasty sashimi dish or used as an ingredient for Maki Rolls or Quality Fertilizer. Additionally, it is a highly appreciated gift item for Willy, one of the villagers in Stardew Valley.
