Salmon

Basic Fishing area

Salmon is the most versatile of the slower fish, so it is the one of the three expensive kinds I give preference to.

What it's for

Here's something for you to think about: The pink salmon we all know and love isn't actually pink at all, it's bright silver! There are also blue salmon and red salmon, but no salmon can be described as being predominantly pink.

Salmon is one of the more expensive fish from the Fishing area with a base price of 40 000 dollars, and according to the in-game description it is not even typically pink, even though that is how most people picture it. On the farm it has a wider use than cod or swordfish, because more products come out of it. Its production times are just as long as cod's and swordfish's, so it belongs among the slower fish. You cannot buy it in the shop, you can only catch it.

How to get it

Just like with cod, the Motorboat takes 12 h 28 min to 13 h 28 min and the Norfolk punt 15 h 46 min to 21 h 16 min. Here too a fully loaded Motor barge, 75 units in 8 h 59 min at the highest level, works out better per unit per hour than a fully upgraded punt, so the investment in the barge pays back sooner.

What to do with it

You will get more use out of salmon than out of any other expensive fish, it goes into Canned fish and Fine fillet in The Mermaid Bay and on top of that into Fish salad at the Fish market. It can be sent to the Dockyard as well.

Tip from a veteran player Because salmon has three outlets, keep a slightly bigger stock of it than of cod or swordfish, so you are not short exactly when you want to fill several recipes at once.

Most common mistake It is a waste to let salmon just sit in storage, it has three different uses, so it pays to process it continuously rather than hoard a big stockpile.
