Cherry Salmon Additional Info

Dialogue When Caught

"I caught a cherry salmon! It's the perfect topper for a marlin sundae!"

Dialogue When Donated to Blathers

  The cherry salmon is related to the salmon, and is known for its distinctive pattern of "polka dots".

  There polka dots disappear as they mature, but ONLY in the first of certain geographic regions.

  Pity the poor researchers that must make sense of the cherry salmon's fickle fashion sense.

I caught a cherry salmon in the northern hemisphere today and the critterpedia entry says they’re around March-June and Sept-Nov all day. I can send screenshots if anyone from game8 sees this!
