Nurse Shark
“Nurse Sharks are a nocturnal bottom feeder, spending most of their time on the ocean floor or in small crevices. Despite their appearance, they are gentle and slow-moving. Nurse Sharks can 'suction feed', using their powerful jaws to scrape algae off surfaces.”— in-game Bestiary description

Nurse Shark guide
Nurse Shark is an Unusual fish that shows up in two places, The Ocean and Roslit Bay, which already makes it easier to find than most single-zone catches. It takes Minnow bait, appears at Night, and is listed for Summer and Autumn in the First Sea. The wiki tags it under Sharks and describes a gentle, slow bottom feeder.
At 125 kg on average and 315 kg at most, it ranks 220th of 663 fish by maximum weight, solidly mid-pack. The value is low: C$1.3 per kg gives C$163 for an average catch, 521st of 742 documented fish, and base XP is 100.
Its rarity neighbors in these zones are Clam, Ribbon Eel and Rose Pearl. Roslit Bay also sells five rods: Blazebringer Rod, Magma Rod, Fortune Rod, Rapid Rod and Steady Rod, so you can match gear without leaving the area.
Verdict: this is a filler catch. It is cheap to bait and reachable at night during two seasons, which makes it a convenient addition to a shark collection or an early XP boost, but not a plan for income. If you are optimizing for money, move on to Legendary or heavier catches. Treat Nurse Shark as something you keep when it bites, not a target worth traveling for.
