Elder Catfish

The Elder Catfish is one of the four legendary fish and the hardest to land: its Fight is 20. It lives in the swamp, one at a time, and takes only Live Bait (see Fishing).

Catching your first one gives you the Elder’s meal recipe: the fish, a Chicken Egg and 25 Fuel in the Kitchen Oven make an Elder’s meal, with Farming mastery 8.
