The Oarfish in Animal Crossing: Horizons is the most valuable fish players can catch, and due to its value, the Oarfish is also the rarest to find. This fish usually spawns in the ocean; therefore, it is imperative that a player’s island has access to it or can visit a friend’s island that does. However, even with access to the ocean, players can catch the Oarfish only during a certain period, depending if they are in the Northern or Southern Hemisphere.
