Tiger trout are river fish, which means you need to catch them in flowing water, like the stream that flows through Pelican Town and Cindersap Forest. It can also be caught within the Meadowlands, Forest, Riverlands, and Hill-Top farms.

Aside from catching them, you can very rarely find them in Krobus’ shop in the sewers for 200G on Wednesdays, or at the traveling cart for 450-1000G.

Once caught, a tiger fish can be used to make sashimi. You can also use them as an ingredient for Maki Rolls or Quality Fertilizer. It is also one of the gifts that Willy likes.
