Stockingfish

Stockingfish belongs to Fischmas 2025 and is flagged as unobtainable now, so today it works as a record of what that holiday event brought. It is a Limited fish (rarity rank 13) tied to Northstar Castle, with Clear weather and Winter as its season.

The in-game blurb calls it a wiggly stocking-shaped fish stuffed with holiday cheer, or maybe just coal. According to the wiki it is a mild catch that moves often across the fishing bar, and hooking it gives the usual Limited cue: a blue marker above the player's head and a bell sound. The catch quips are ‘A Stockingfish!’, ‘Christmas came early!’ and ‘What presents are hiding in it?’

Two details of trivia set it apart from other event fish. Its Shiny variant looks like a fish mounted on a plaque, and when you hold it out, it plays ‘Merry Christmas (And a Happy New Year)’ by Francis MacDonald, a track from his 2012 album ‘All I Want for Christmas’.
