Fish in Stardew Valley

Every fish in Stardew Valley with its spawn ID — including the five legendary fish and the fish caught in pots, geodes, and crab traps.

How to spawn items

Vanilla, no edits

Character name. When creating a new save, name your character with up to three item IDs in square brackets, e.g. [16][66][72]. Every time a villager mentions your name in dialogue, those items spawn into your inventory. Character names lock to one set per save, so you're stuck with whatever three you pick.

Early-game trigger trick: call Gus by phone (or visit Pierre before noon) — both reliably say your name back to you. Once you unlock the movie theater, inviting Jodi with a Love Concession is the fastest repeatable trigger.

Pet or animal name. Buy an animal from Marnie's Ranch (a chicken is cheapest) or a pet, then name it with the item ID(s) in square brackets. You receive the items right after confirming the name. Repeat with another animal for different items.

If your code is longer than Marnie's name box allows, you can bypass the character limit by inserting line breaks with dialogue commands — handy when stacking many IDs at once.

How Fish IDs work

Fish entries live in Stardew Valley's object space, so their IDs are plain numbers like 163 with no type prefix. Written out in full an object ID looks like (O)163, but the bare number is what you will normally use.

This page lists all 83 Fish entries in the vanilla game.

How to spawn Fish

79 of the 83 Fish entries here use bare numeric IDs, and the naming cheat works for those: buy an animal at Marnie's Ranch, name it [163], and the item appears in your inventory. The other 4 use text IDs that the naming cheat ignores, and need the chat cheat instead.
