2. Check Shadow Size

You'll need to check the shadow size of the fish that appeared and make sure it's similar to the Crawfish.

3. Go Fish!

Once you're sure the fish that appeared has the same shadow size as the fish you want, it's time to prepare your Fishing Rod and go fish!

Crawfish Additional Info

Dialogue When Caught

"I caught a crawfish! Or else it's a lobster, and I'm a giant!"

Dialogue When Donated to Blathers

  Ohoo! So you have found a crawfish. Neither crab nor lobster, crawfish evolved in an interesting manner.

  Beware their fearsome pinchy pinchers! Behold their many legs! I say! It is a bit bug-like, eh wot... The more I look at it, the more unsettled I feel...

  Let's be done with this and never speak of it again, shall we?
