Oarfish guide

Oarfish is a Mythical fish from The Ocean, and it asks for a specific pairing: Foggy weather in Winter, with Squid as bait. The wiki describes a massive, snake-like deep-water creature often mistaken for a sea serpent.

It averages 160 kg and can reach 720 kg, ranking 180th of 663 fish by maximum weight. An average catch is worth C$2,560 at C$16 per kg, which places it 239th of the 742 documented fish, with 2,000 base XP. In practice that is a good result for a mid-sized Mythical but not the top of the tier.

In The Ocean it shares the Mythical rarity with Colossal Squid, Great Hammerhead Shark, Great White Shark, Mythic Fish, Sea Pickle and Whale Shark. That is a busy group, and several of them are better known for size, so Oarfish is more of a condition-driven catch than a prestige one.

Verdict: worth targeting if you are in The Ocean during Winter fog and already carry Squid. Otherwise it is not worth building a trip around, since the payout is middling and the weather and season overlap will leave you waiting. Keep it as a situational catch: when the fog rolls in during the cold season, put Squid on the hook and see what bites.
