In this guide, you will learn how to get Sandfish while playing Stardew Valley.
Where to catch Sandfish in Stardew Valley
Sandfish is found exclusively in the Calico Desert, in a small pond near Skull Cavern. Active hours for Sandfish are between 6:00 AM and 8:00 PM during all seasons.
Calico Desert is found to the northwest of Pelican Town, but can only be accessed once the Bus becomes operational. This is achieved in either one or two different ways.
- Community Center – Players must purchase all four bundles in the Vault section of the building to unlock the Bus Stop reward. This costs 42,500 Gold.
- Jojo Community Development Form – Purchase a JojaMart membership for 5,000 Gold from Morris to be able to invest in town improvements. Only one can be purchased per day. The Bus Stop costs 40,000 Gold.
Once the Bus Stop is acquired, players can purchase a ticket for 500 Gold from the nearby stand to travel to Calico Desert. As an alternative, players can utilize a Warp Totem: Desert or the Desert: Obelisk to teleport into the Calico Desert for free.
A Magic Bait can be used to catch Sandfish at any time of the day.
