Yellow Perch Additional Info

Dialogue When Caught

"I caught a yellow perch! Those yellow birds have to sit somewhere!"

Dialogue When Donated to Blathers

  The yellow perch is certainly worth squawking about. I find it a sight to behold! That jagged dorsal fin! Those brilliant stripes! Those glorious colours! Hoo, truly it is quite the specimen.

  I would be thrilled to witness it firsthand in its natural environment... But the yellow perch's peak season is winter, I'm afraid. (So very afraid... of winter's biting chill...)
