Hey there, fellow Stardew Valley enthusiasts! Today, we’ll share the know-how on a certain fish in the game – the Red Snapper. This fish can be challenging to catch, but the rewards are worth it.

Where’s The Best Place to Catch a Red Snapper?

The Red Snapper is found in the ocean, and it has no level or fishing rod requirements. You can catch it anywhere in the ocean, including The Beach south of town or your farm if you have The Beach Farm.

It’s quite a difficult fish to catch due to its fast movements and tendency to swim erratically with a difficulty of 40 and labeled as having mixed behavior. 

If you’re having trouble catching one, try the trash bins around Pelican Town. Sometimes, you can find it there, along with other valuable items.
