How to Fish: Superdwarf Fish — Bait, Island & Price
Superdwarf Fish is the most valuable non-boss creature in How to Fish: $1,700 base price on Volcano Island, with only 120 health.
| Island | 5. Volcano |
|---|---|
| Bait | Scientific Lure ($500) |
| Base sale price | $1700 |
| Base weight | 0.0001 kg |
| Health | 120 HP |
| Fights back | No, it does not attack players |
| Endangered | No |
| Quest creature | Yes — keep it for an island hand-in |
How to catch Superdwarf Fish
- Buy the Scientific Lure ($500) on Volcano Island and cast into the open water.
- Superdwarf Fish has a base weight of 0.0001 kg, so weight will not be the reason a catch is worth more — the base price does all the work.
- Kill it immediately. At 120 health it dies faster than a Desert Island Bowlfish, which makes it the best risk-to-reward catch on the island.
- It is flagged as a quest creature. Check the Volcano Island quest before selling it.
What Superdwarf Fish is for
Money, and possibly a quest hand-in. If you only need one for a quest and catch two, the spare is the single best thing to sell in the campaign.
Common mistakes
- Selling the first one before reading the Volcano quest.
- Skipping it because the weight column reads 0.0001 kg — the sale price does not depend on weight here.

Does the Superdwarf Fish fight back?
No. It is not on the game’s list of creatures that attack players, and 120 health means it dies before that matters.
