Octopus Item ID and Cheat
The item ID for Octopus in Stardew Valley is:149
This cheat works on PC, XBOX One, PS4 and the Nintendo Switch.
Item spawning in Stardew Valley isn't accomplished through typical commands. Instead, it involves a cheat method where you name your character, or an animal, with the item code of the desired item, enclosed in square brackets [ and ]. Include the brackets when naming.
Spawn Using Animal Name
To spawn this item, buy an animal (we recommend a chicken because it is the cheapest) from Marnie's Ranch, name it [149]. You will then receive the Octopus item.
Spawn Using Character Name
Since you can only set your character's name once at the game's inception, we advise using the animal naming method.
However, if you opt for this method, name your character [149]while creating your save file. When you converse with any villager who mentions your name in their dialogue, like Gus at the Stardrop Saloon, you'll receive the Octopus item.

The Octopus is a fish that can be caught in the ocean at The Beach or on the Beach Farm during Summer or in the ocean on Ginger Island West during any season. It can also randomly be found in Garbage Cans during Summer, or at the Traveling Cart for 450–1,000g. There is a 2.2% chance to hook an Octopus during the deep-sea submarine ride at the Night Market during Winter 15-17 (1.6% if using a Curiosity Lure).
Octopus can be caught regardless of time of day or season using Magic Bait.
The Octopus and the Stonefish are the only fish caught with a fishing rod that cannot be eaten unless used in a recipe.
Other than Legendary Fish, this is the most difficult fish to catch in the game. Each cast has a 4-11% chance to hook an Octopus at the Beach and a 5-18% chance on Ginger Island West, with probabilities somewhat dependent on exact time and weather, and higher probabilities at higher fishing levels and zones.
