Horseshoe Crab

“The Rockstar Hermit Crab is an oddly shaped crab, with an external piece of shell that covers their whole body. Underneath the shell, you can find their legs and claws. Despite being a crab, horseshoe crabs are harmless and their claws are weak. Caught with crab cages in the Desolate Deep.”— in-game Bestiary description

Horseshoe Crab guide

Horseshoe Crab is a Common catch from Desolate Deep, appearing in Clear or Rainy weather during Spring. The data lists no specific bait or hour, so the weather and season are your only filters.

This is a low-value fish. Its average weight is 6.7 kg, with a maximum of 36 kg that ranks 345th of 663. At C$2.8 per kg, an average catch sells for just C$19, which ranks 721st of 742 documented fish, so only a handful sit below it. It does give 60 base XP, which is a fair amount for a Common.

The only other Common in Desolate Deep is Slate Tuna. Two rods are sold in this zone, the Reinforced Rod and the Trident Rod, so you can buy gear there without leaving. Horseshoe Crab is a good fit for working through XP early on, but do not hold on to it: sell it and move toward better fish.
