An Informative guide on how to minmax Fish to Dish, explaining how to unlock everything the fastest way possible. The Basics The Basics are pretty simple: Step 1. you buy bait. Step 2. you fish fish with the bait. Step 3. you make sushi out of the fished fish. Step 4. You sell the sushi Step 5. PROFIT Step 6. start again at Step 1. You can also: Put fish into the hatchery to get more of that fish (and rare variants that can't be fished normally). As well as put them in an aquarium to generate passive incomme. Money traps Money can be badly invested. For biggest profit, take heed of the following: Sushi maxing: Don't sell unmaxed sushi. you can level up sushi, increasing its sell price. Going for the quick profit means you lose out on a substantial amount of money. Only sell sushi that you have maxed out for maximum profit per ingredient. Fishing zones: A rather soft incomme loss, but in a first step zones 3, 4 and 5 are not needed, as every zone has increased price in sushi compared to the zone before. Therefore my advice is, idle in zone 2 until you got the money for zone 6, go there and only come back once your statisfied your greed (or get a cat quest) Bait: Another thing to look out for is bait spending. While the cost per bait isn't much, you will need lots of them. The problem is rather simple, if your rods can't catch a rarity, bait will not help. If you don't have any rod upgraded enough to catch mystic fish, bait that increases catch chance for mystic fish will just be wasted money. Just upgrade when you have the chance What you should make a beeline for Fairly easy, i already mentioned it above, zone 6 is your first target. Get out of zone 1 into zone 2 as fast as possible. Then idle there for the money needed for zone 6. While you get money, upgrade the hatchery and the fish tank too, as far as your willing too (you will need both at max level for insane profits down the road). Regarding rods, get them up to the level where you can catch mystic fish, get 2 of the same and put them into the hatchery. Idle for a night or school/work day and you should have enough fry to hatch enough mystic fish for all your hatchery slots and some leftovers for the aquarium. The aquarium is pretty simple, roughly every 6 to 7 seconds you get money. The rarer a fish, the more profit. NEW UPDATE DROPPED, HENCEFORTH EVERY SPECIAL FISH IS ALSO FISHABLE: Here a special rule is in effect: special fish, distinguished by 2 points circling the fish portrait net a higher profit in the aquarium. A special hatchery blue fish will give more money than a fishable epic one. These fish COULD BEFORE only be obtained using the hatchery (but can be fished now), and not every fish has a special counterpart, check the bestiary, if you hoover over a caught fish, and another shadowed out one is also highlighted, thats a special fish. Special epic fish give the same amount of money as a legendary, but mystic fish is big profit. With this information given, its time for max profit. Target: getting 2 mystic zone 6 fish. Therefore, you must upgrade at least one rod to a high enough level to be able to catch them. Keep in mind the bait money trap information from above, but its your choice when to start using that bait. If you consider yourself lucky, level up 1 rod, buy the most expensive bait, and fish the 2 mystics you need. Once you have them, its a waiting game. Let them fishies in the hatchery do the r18 stuff, then feed them cute small babies unhealthy snacks and instantly put them into other hatchery slots. if you go in with 2, in an hour you will have 4, 1 hour more and you will have 8 and another hour and then your hatchery should be filled with mystics only. By this time, your aquarium should be filled with mostly special epic fish, and as those give the same amount of money per hour than normal legendaries, you won't have much to replace except you got them mystic ones, put them in an fast as possible. You now have a steady source of the most profitable selling fish, increase the level of the sushi to max and then sell all your leftovers while waiting for the mystic (if you don't have enough) to spawn for more passive incomme from the aquarium. Once you are at that point, your hatchery mystic fish output as well as the passive incomme from the aquarium will be most of your profit. You can leave the 6th zone now and fill the bestiary, max every sushi and do whatever you want because there is simply no longer a way to not make profit. Special Cat Quests There is one example where all of the above written text is nullified, at least for some time. You see, sometimes friendly felines come and give you a quest for a specific fish. first its 1 cat requesting 1 fish, then 2 for 2, 3 for 3 and 4 for 4. Ocasionally, a big cat comes by and gives harder quests with more required fish. If you fullfill its quest, it will do a happy dance and using cat magiks to add more tables to your sushi bar, or expand your menu slots. So cat quests should be done as fast as possible for further profit. Its worth going to another zone and fish the required fish for the quests. And you should have enough money by then to go to all zones. This stops once you have 6 tables and 5 menu slots, after that you will get decorations and stuff. But before your bar is maxed out, cat quests are important, afterwards... not so much.
