Some fish in Stardew Valley <\/em>can be caught in a variety of places, while others are more specific with where they spawn. Sandfish have a very particular habitat; in fact, it\u2019s how they got their name.\u00a0<\/p>

Before you can go looking for Sandfish, you\u2019ll need to unlock the Desert. To do this, you\u2019ll need to complete the Vault Bundle<\/a> at the community center (this is just a collection of monetary donations), or purchase the \u201cBus Repair\u201d on the Joja Community Development Form for 40,000 Gold. It all depends on whether you\u2019ve made the morally correct choice or sold your soul to Joja.<\/p>

Where to find Sandfish in Stardew Valley<\/h2><\/iframe>

Once you\u2019ve unlocked the Desert, finding Sandfish is easy, as it\u2019s one of only two fish that spawn in the pond located in the top right corner of the Desert. Sandfish (and the other fish, Scorpion Carp), can be fished from these waters during any season between 6 a.m. and 8 p.m.<\/p>

When you catch a Sandfish, you may find that the bobber in the fishing mini-game<\/a> darts around the line. Sandfish are pretty pesky and can get away from you if you\u2019re not careful. To negate the sudden movements, it\u2019s worth using a Cork Bobber or a Trapper Bobber to increase your chances.\u00a0<\/p>

One Sandfish is needed for the Speciality Fish Bundle at the Community Center, and they\u2019re also on Penny\u2019s loved gifts list. Outside of these specific uses, there are a few other things that can be done with Sandfish. <\/p>

Recipes<\/h3>

Sandfish can be used in any recipe that calls for \u2018any fish\u2019:<\/p>

Item<\/strong><\/td>Recipe<\/strong><\/td>Recipe unlock<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
Maki Roll<\/td>1 of any Fish

Tailoring<\/h3>

Sandfish can be used in the spool of a Sewing Machine<\/a> to create the dyeable Fish Shirt. It can also be used as a yellow dye in the dye pots in Emily and Haley\u2019s house.\u00a0<\/p>

Fish pond<\/h3>

You can place Sandfish into a Fish Pond, and they\u2019ll produce Roe. If there are 10 Sandfish in a Fish Pond, you could possibly get Cactus Seeds.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
