The Superdwarf Fish has the highest exact raw sell value at $1,700. To earn the $100,000 sale achievement, multiply a high-value fish through cooking and roulette; no naturally caught fish sells for $100,000.
The Superdwarf Fish is the most valuable fish with an exact raw sell price in How to Fish, bringing in $1,700 before cooking or roulette. This physics-based co-op fishing game from Dazed Games launched on Steam on August 20, 2026 and plays as much like a shooter as a fishing game: you catch fish, kill them, and sell them to buy better gear. Only a small set of species has exact sell values in the game’s data, while the largest payouts come from increasing a fish’s value after landing it.
Fish with the highest raw sell values
| Fish | Raw sell value | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Superdwarf Fish | $1,700 | 0.00009999999747378752 |
| Voxel Fish | $340 | 2.0 |
| Flying Fish | $320 | 4.0 |
Key These fish have exact base sell prices in the shipped build. The Superdwarf Fish leads by a wide margin at $1,700, roughly five times the value of the next named fish, and its effectively zero weight matches its name. The Voxel Fish sells for $340, while the Flying Fish sells for $320. These are all raw values before cooking or roulette markup.
How grill and lava cooking raise sell value
| Fish | Raw value | Best cooked value |
|---|---|---|
| Superdwarf Fish | $1,700 | $2,550 |
| Voxel Fish | $340 | $510 |
| Flying Fish | $320 | $480 |
Unlock the grill on island 3 and use cooking as your main money multiplier. It works on fish, guns, and other sellable items. Press F to inspect an item and view its Value, cooking multiplier, weight, and killscore as they update live over the flame. Hold a fish over the grill until its value reaches 1.5x, then pull it off immediately. Its value collapses to 0 the moment it turns solid black. A burnt fish is worthless and barely heals, so burn one only when completing the achievement.
The same 1.5x multiplier applies to guns and other sellable items, so cook weapons before selling them too. On the island 5 volcano, lava cooks items at exactly 1.5x with no timing risk at all. Lava-cook everything before it leaves your hands. Applied to these fish, the multiplier produces the values shown above.
Lava-cook every fish before you sell or gamble it — on island 5 the lava applies a flat 1.5x with zero timing risk, so there is never a reason to sell a raw catch there.
Reaching the $100,000 sale for Rich! Millionaire
No fish naturally sells for $100,000, and the fish with exact base values do not come close on their own. The Rich! Millionaire achievement requires you to sell something worth 100,000 or more. Run a valuable fish through roulette to reach that amount. The Reel of Fortune green pocket pays 35x the value of the item you bet and returns an item for you to sell. That payout is the “something” checked by the achievement.
At the 35x rate, you need to bet a cooked item worth at least $2,858 ($100,000 ÷ 35) to reach a $100,000 sale. That requires roughly a $1,906 raw fish after the 1.5x lava increase. Aim for around $3,200 cooked so an imperfect catch does not leave you stranded at $99,000. The Superdwarf Fish reaches only $2,550 when cooked, leaving it just below the required threshold, so farm the real money on island 5. Green occupies one pocket in 37. Pair this route with the All in achievement, which requires betting on green and winning, and gamble only fish already above the threshold. Both achievements will unlock when green lands.
Where the real late-game money comes from
The late-game value loop is on island 5, the volcano. Farm it with Scientific Lures, the $500 tier, lava-cook the entire haul at 1.5x, and stack trick-shot multipliers on every kill to increase each fish’s value before cooking it. A full 360 no-scope adds 1.5x by itself, while headshot, no-scope, last-bullet, and point-blank bonuses multiply on top. Island 5 fish are the better catches for this loop. Their exact sell prices are not listed in the game’s data, so use the cooking-and-roulette thresholds above instead of farming for a specific island 5 value.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does any fish naturally sell for $100,000 in How to Fish?
No. The Superdwarf Fish has the highest listed base value at $1,700, and lava-cooking raises it to only $2,550. Rich! Millionaire checks the value of the item you sell rather than a fish’s base price. Gamble a cooked high-value fish on roulette green for the 35x payout, then sell the resulting item. A caught fish will not reach $100,000 on its own.
Is the Goblin shark the most valuable fish?
No exact sell value is assigned to the Goblin shark in the game’s data, so it cannot outrank fish with listed values. The Goblin shark is a popular community pick for the most valuable cooked fish, while the Superdwarf Fish retains the highest listed raw sell price. Late-game content runs deep in value: island 5’s optional mini-boss, for example, is summoned with a $5,800 Scientific Boss Lure.
