Fish-adjacent.

If you’re lo♋oking to catch a Sea Cucumber, there are two different times during which it can be caught. Firstly, it can be found between 6 a.m. and 7 p.m. during Fall and Winte✤r, on the Beach or on your Farm, if you opted to play on a Beach Farm. 

The second opportunity to catch 💮a Sea C🔯ucumber comes during the Night Market, which occurs between Winter 15 and 17. Each night during the event, fishing in the deep-sea submarine offers a 5% chance to reel in a Sea Cucumber.
