Oil Sardine guide
You will find the Oil Sardine in Crowned Ruins, and only if the conditions line up: Day, Clear weather, Spring or Summer, with Flakes on the hook. It is a Common fish, and the numbers show it. An average catch weighs 12.5 kg and sells for roughly C$28, which puts its average value at 705th of the 742 documented fish.
Weight is where it does a bit better. Its max of 42 kg ranks 337th of 663 fish with a recorded maximum, so a lucky pull is noticeably bigger than the typical one. At C$2.25 per kg, though, even that big one will not change your wallet. The base XP is 30.
Treat it as a filler catch. If you are fishing Crowned Ruins for something better, the same rarity tier also gives Gnomefish and Roundnose Grenadier, so a Common bite does not tell you much about which of the three you got. Sell it, or keep it only if you are filling a collection. Do not plan a trip around it, and do not burn Flakes you could use elsewhere.
