Catfish
Catfish is a freshwater fish that can be caught in various locations depending on the season and weather conditions. It is known for its elusive nature, often requiring more skill to catch due to its erratic movement on the fishing mini-game bar. This fish can be sold for a profit, used in recipes, or donated to the community center to complete one of the bundles required for town restoration projects.
