The Salmon is the river fish of Fall. It bites in the rivers of Pelican Town and Cindersap Forest through the daylight hours, in any weather, so it is easy to find once the leaves turn. Its sell price is modest, but it is the star ingredient of Salmon Dinner, a recipe Gus shares with friends. Demetrius can also ask for ten of them in a Fall Special Order that rewards the Farm Computer recipe. A Fish Pond of Salmon keeps its roe coming after Fall ends.

Catching

The Salmon lives in the river that runs through Pelican Town and on through Cindersap Forest. It bites in Fall, from 6am to 7pm, and rain or wind make no difference. Any stretch of the river will do, so it can be caught on the way to other errands in town.

Outside Fall, Magic Bait removes the season and time limits, so a Salmon can be hooked in any season and after dark.

On the line, the Salmon has mixed behaviour and a middling difficulty. It wanders up and down the bar without the wild jumps of darting fish. A farmer with a few Fishing levels can land it with a basic rod. A Cork Bobber widens the green bar and makes perfect catches easier, which raises the fish's quality.

The Salmon can also be found without fishing. Garbage Cans in town sometimes hold one in Fall. The Traveling Cart may sell one, though always at a mark-up.

Prices

A normal Salmon sells for the same as a plate of Sashimi, so slicing it gains nothing. The price doubles at iridium quality, and the Fisher and Angler professions then add a quarter or a half. An iridium Salmon sold by an Angler fetches 225g.

A Fish Smoker doubles the price again while keeping the quality. It needs one piece of Coal per fish. Smoking suits gold and iridium Salmon best.

Salmon Dinner is the better use for a normal fish. The dish sells for 300g, four times the value of a normal Salmon, though it also needs Amaranth and Kale.

In a Fish Pond, nearly every item the Salmon produces is Salmon Roe, worth 67g. A Preserves Jar turns it into Aged Roe worth twice as much. The Salmon pond starts at three fish and reaches ten once three requests are met. The first asks for Acorns, Bug Meat, Maple Seeds or Pine Cones. The second asks for Gold Ore, Maple Syrup or Mixed Seeds. The last asks for a Crayfish, Honey, Jade or a Periwinkle.

Sell prices by quality, with the bonus from each profession.

Quality	Price	Fisher (+25%)	Angler (+50%)
Normal	75g	93g	112g
Silver	93g	116g	139g
Gold	112g	140g	168g
Iridium	150g	187g	225g

Uses

Cooking one Salmon with one Amaranth and one Kale makes Salmon Dinner. Gus sends the recipe by mail once his friendship reaches three hearts.

Demetrius uses the Special Orders board outside the Mayor's Manor for "Aquatic Overpopulation". In Fall, the order may name the Salmon, and it then asks for ten of them within a week. Demetrius pays the Salmon's sale value, and on the first completion he adds the recipe for the Farm Computer. The Salmon bites all day in any weather, which makes this an easy version of the order.

In the kitchen, the Salmon also counts as "any fish" for Maki Roll and Sashimi. Crafting Sap with a fish makes Quality Fertilizer, so the Salmon works there too.

At the Sewing Machine, a Salmon in the spool with Cloth makes the Faded Denim Shirt. In the dye pots at Emily and Haley's house, it serves as a red dye.

A Bait Maker turns one Salmon into a stack of Salmon Bait. That bait makes the Salmon more likely to bite, which speeds up the Special Order.

Cooking Salmon with the other ingredients below makes these dishes.

Gifts

The Salmon is a poor gift for nearly everyone. The bachelors Elliott and Sebastian count Salmon as a neutral gift. The older residents Demetrius, Linus and Pam feel neutral about it too, and so do Willy and Leo.

The Dwarf, Krobus, Sandy and the Wizard all dislike Salmon. The older residents Caroline, George, Jodi, Kent and Lewis share that view, and so do Abigail, Alex, Emily, Harvey, Leah, Maru, Penny, Sam and Shane. The shopkeepers Clint, Gus, Marnie and Robin dislike it too. So do the children Jas and Vincent.

Evelyn, Haley and Pierre hate it.

Keep a few Salmon in a chest when Fall ends. They cover Salmon Dinner once the recipe arrives, and a single fish can stock a new Fish Pond.
