Scalding Swordfish guide

Scalding Swordfish is a Legendary fish from Mariana's Veil in the First Sea, caught with Truffle Worm bait on Clear days in Summer, during the day. The in-game text describes a sharp fish with glowing red eyes and a body wreathed in smoky tendrils, rumored to be the spirit of the lava itself.

This is a heavy catch. It weighs 930 to 7,600 kg, averaging 1,300 kg, and pays C$1.60 per kg, which gives an average value of C$2,080. It grants 1,100 base XP. Its average value ranks 256th of the 742 documented fish, and its maximum weight is 98th of 663, so the weight is far ahead of the price: a top-fifth fish by size and a middle-ranking one by money.

That gap matters. Its low C$1.60 per kg holds the total down, so it will rarely beat a lighter fish that pays a high rate. What it does offer is a very large maximum weight, so an outlier near 7,600 kg pays far above the average.

My advice is to go for it if you already fish Mariana's Veil in Summer daylight and have Truffle Worm. Sell most of them, and keep casting for the heavy rolls, because that is where the real payout sits.
