The One Fish Checklist: Track All 17 Confirmed Fish
This fish checklist for The One Fish tracks all 17 confirmed catches: value bands, danger ratings and sources, plus junk pulls and shiny variants.
Use this fish checklist while you play The One Fish: tick a fish the moment you land it, then write in its value band, the danger it posed, and where it came from. The table below already carries what launch-week players confirmed on camera — seventeen fish, plus the junk pulls and the shiny layer in their own sections — so your own numbers only need to fill the gaps. Two of the seventeen come straight from the official Steam store description (the clownfish and the bomb fish); the rest are player-observed from two launch-week co-op streams — developer re:try has published no official fish catalog for Early Access.
Version note: this checklist was verified on August 14, 2026 against the Early Access launch build (August 12, 2026). Anything that could not be confirmed against a source is marked not yet confirmed.
How to Use This Checklist
Each row of the Confirmed Fish Checklist tracks four things, and you only have to fill in what launch footage could not.
- Name — the fish as confirmed on the roster. A few labels are player nicknames rather than official names (pink-dreams fish, tornado shark, swordfish versus marlin) — treat them as provisional until re:try publishes a catalog.
- Value band — the price tier you got for the catch. Launch players measured real values from 15 up to 1500+, with 500 and 1500 as the typical high-value pulls in the 4-player stream. Per-fish prices are not yet confirmed, so write your own number next to each tick.
- Danger — what the fish does to the crew between the hook and the net. The ratings below come from launch-week footage: High means it attacked, exploded, or disabled someone.
- Source — where you caught it, plus which launch stream first confirmed it: the 3-player Portuguese stream or the 4-player Turkish stream.
One rule sits above the columns: only fish deposited into the ship’s net count toward the feeding quota — a tick on this page is memory, not progress. Get the catch into the net before you celebrate it.
Confirmed Fish Checklist
All seventeen fish confirmed by August 14, 2026. Per-fish values are not yet confirmed — write in what you get as you land each one.
| Fish | Value band | Danger | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clownfish | — | None reported — the store’s harmless example; the 3-player crew nicknamed it Nemo. | Official + both streams |
| Bomb fish | — | High — the store’s explosive example; it detonates and can wipe the whole crew. | Official + both streams |
| Anglerfish | — | High — attacks players; in the 4-player stream it ate other fish already inside the net. | Both streams |
| Shark | — | High — attacks players and can drag one into the sea. | Both streams |
| Tornado shark | — | High — a shark with a tornado-style effect, nicknamed “Shark Nido”; official name not yet confirmed. | 3-player stream |
| Swordfish / marlin | — | None reported — huge and very hard to reel in; swordfish versus marlin is not yet confirmed. | 3-player stream |
| Flying fish | — | None reported — takes to the air; no ability beyond the name is confirmed. | 3-player stream |
| Seahorse | — | None reported — caught in shallow water, a good early pull from shore. | 3-player stream |
| Jellyfish | — | None reported — seen in both streams; no special behavior reported. | Both streams |
| Sunfish | — | None reported — seen in the 3-player stream; no hazard reported. | 3-player stream |
| Pink-dreams fish | — | High — inverts your view, makes players dizzy and can trap them; official name not yet confirmed. | 4-player stream |
| Dancing fish | — | None reported — forces nearby players to dance. | 4-player stream |
| Music fish | — | None reported — plays music around itself. | 4-player stream |
| Spiny fish | — | None reported — its spikes hurt players who get too close; carry it at arm’s length. | 4-player stream |
| Goldfish | — | None reported — a plain goldfish catch. | 4-player stream |
| Skeleton | — | High — attacks while a player is holding it; deposit or drop it fast. | 4-player stream |
| Dog-balloon fish | — | None reported — a dog-shaped balloon fish. | 4-player stream |
Seventeen confirmed catches is a floor, not a ceiling: no official total has been published, and the roster should grow during Early Access.
Junk Pulls
Not everything on the end of the line is a fish. Three junk pulls were confirmed in launch-week footage:
- Boot — a boot, not a catch — pulled up in the 3-player stream.
- Shoe — the boot’s partner in the junk category.
- Hat — reeled up as junk but wearable; the shop also sells cosmetic hats.
Whether junk pulls count toward the day’s feeding quota is not yet confirmed — neither launch stream makes the scoring clear. Tick them anyway so your log matches the crew’s actual pulls.
Shiny and Rares
Shiny variants are real and extremely rare, per launch-week players: the 3-player stream reported shiny catches, including a Luffy-style straw hat that drops from a shiny fish. How shiny odds work is not yet confirmed, so track your own here:
- First shiny caught (any species)
- A shiny deposited in the net at day’s end
- A Luffy-style straw hat from a shiny drop
- First catch upgraded with the shop’s rarity upgrade
Rarity sits on top of species. The shop sells a rarity upgrade that raises the chance of pulling rarer fish (3-player stream), and the 4-player stream shows a Chance/Luck gamble option in the same shop. No official odds are published. When you upgrade a catch, note its new rarity next to the fish in the table — a shiny tick without a rarity is half a record.
Notes
Early Access launched on August 12, 2026, and this checklist is a snapshot of the launch build. re:try has published no official fish catalog, so seventeen fish plus junk is the confirmed floor — expect new species and moved values as patches land. The player-measured value range of 15 to 1500+ can change with hotfixes, and several names above are player nicknames, not official ones. Re-check the roster when the Steam announcements feed moves, and keep writing in your own value bands as you play.
