Stardew Valley Tilapia Fishing Guide – How and Where to Catch?
The Tilapia is a fish that can be caught in the ocean at The Beach or on the Beach Farm during Summer and Fall. It can also be caught during any season on Ginger Island West (freshwater) or North. In addition to these locations, Tilapia may randomly appear in Krobus’ shop on Wednesdays for 200g, or at the Traveling Cart for 225-1,000g.
One of the most appealing aspects of fishing for Tilapia is that it can be caught at any time of day or season using Magic Bait. This allows players to maximize their fishing potential and catch Tilapia whenever they choose, making it a valuable fish to pursue.

The best place to catch Tilapia is undoubtedly Ginger Island, both in the west (freshwater) and in the north, as Tilapia can be found in all seasons there. This makes it a prime location for players looking to catch a large number of these fish.
Ginger Island is located in the Fern Islands archipelago. To reach this tropical paradise, you will need to go to Willy’s Fish Shop and find his backroom. After repairing the boat, you can buy tickets to visit the island.
