Pufferfish

“Pufferfish are clumsy swimmers that can fill their elastic stomachs with huge amounts of water & air to blow themselves up to several times their normal size. They do this to evade and scare off predators. On top of their bloating abilities, they also are one of the most poisonous fish in the sea... Also they are the only bony fish which can close their eyes!”— in-game Bestiary description

Pufferfish guide

Seaweed is the bait for Pufferfish, a Rare catch that turns up in both Roslit Bay and The Ocean, and only in Summer. The game's bestiary describes a clumsy swimmer that inflates itself to scare predators, one of the most poisonous fish in the sea and the only bony fish that can close its eyes.

The numbers are plain: 1 kg on average (0.5 to 6.1 kg) at C$115 per kg means an average sale of C$115, which is 574th of 742 documented fish by value, and its max weight ranks 528th of 663. It gives 100 base XP.

Four other Rare fish are documented in the same zones: Arapaima, Halibut, Mauve Pearl and Sea Urchin. The rods sold in these areas are Blazebringer Rod, Magma Rod, Fortune Rod, Rapid Rod and Steady Rod, so you can upgrade while you fish.

Verdict: a modest but easy catch because of its two locations, which give you more chances to meet it. Take Seaweed in Summer, sell it for the C$115, and do not expect much more. For a Rare, the low ranking means this is a filler fish, not a goal.
