Animal Crossing New Horizons: How to Catch a Tuna

Some fish can only be caught in very specific places on your island in Animal Crossing New Horizons. The Tuna for example, is only available in a very small slither of the ocean surrounding your island and as such, can be quite tricky to catch. To help you catch a Tuna, we've put together this guide. It'll show you exactly where to go on your island, and give you some info on when they can be caught, as well as how much you'll get for selling them.

How to Catch a Tuna in Animal Crossing New Horizons

To catch a Tuna in Animal Crossing New Horizons you will need to head to one of the piers on your island's beaches. We recommend stocking up on fish bait, and throwing it off the end of the pier into the water. You can catch Tuna at any time of the day between the months of November and April.

Tuna Sell Price

If you sell a Tuna to the Nooks, you'll get 7000 Bells. If you choose to save it until CJ is on your island however (more on CJ here), you'll get 10,500 Bells. This makes Tuna one of the most valuable fish in the game at the moment.
