Golden Salmon is a fish that can be sold for Gols or used in cooking as an ingredient.
Obtaining[]
Throughout the year, Common, Emperor, and King Golden Salmon can be caught while fishing in three fishing spots: Bassanio Falls, Portia Harbor, and the Eufaula Desert Oasis.
Additionally, all rarities of Golden Salmon can be caught from any fishing spot while participating in Fishing Day tourneys. Emperor and King fish are more common during Fishing Day tourneys.
Common Golden Salmon can also be purchased at the following shops:
