Around Spring 17 in Fields of Mistria, you can check out the Request Board near the General Store to find the 'Request for a Catfish' side quest from Hemlock (he's usually around the Inn). He needs the catfish in particular for a special dish he's working on. He'll reward you with a recipe for Breaded Catfish. It's not the most exciting thing for quest reward, but hey, being able to cook more types of food is always a good thing.

By checking out this guide, you'll learn the best places to look for Catfish in Fields of Mistria.

Of course, the first thing you'll need before being able to get a Catfish is a Fishing Rod. It doesn't need to be fancy, but if you need help getting one, you can read this linked FoM guide. For a quick rundown, you can get a rod by forging it at the Blacksmith or purchase it from the Tackle Shop on the Beach. The second method will cost you 500 Tesserae.

Fields of Mistria: How to Find Catfish

Catfish, Where are You?

To get right to it, you can find Catfish all year round in the ponds of Mistria. We were able to find the perfect pond on the north side of town, left of the entrance to the Manor House (see above images).

There are other ponds around the map, but we managed to find a Catfish super quickly in this specific location. You should be on the lookout for a medium-sized fish.

Find Hemlock's location via the map and gift the Catfish to the NPC. He'll give you the recipe for Breaded Catfish (make sure to actually learn the recipe by interacting with it on your item bar).

You can cook the Breaded Catfish meal at a kitchen (there's one at the Inn if you havent made your own yet at the Carpenter). However, you'll need to increase your cooking level to 14 and have Flour and Oil (plus the Catfish itself).
