There is a huge variety of different fish available to catch and catalog inDisney Dreamlight Valley, and they all have specific recipes that call for them. One of these fish, the Lancetfish, can be particularly elusive.

Although you should definitely cook your Lancetfish before consuming them, even some Lancetfish Sushi (not an actualrecipeinDDLV) will net you 1,300 energy when consumed. Lancetfish is also a particularly lucrative fish to hunt for, with each selling to Goofy for 650 Star Coins.

As with all fish and items inDisney Dreamlight Valley, you can also use it as a decoration. It takes up a 2×1 area when placed. To put your Lancetfish on display, enter your inventory and drop it, then enter the furniture menu and move it to where you want it.

How to catch Lancetfish in Disney Dreamlight Valley

The Lancetfish can only be caught in the Forgotten Lands, so you’ll need to unlock the area for 15,000 Dreamlight before you can get to fishing. With that done, you’ll need to look for blue ripples, which is where the problems begin.

There isn’t a lot of water in the Forgotten Lands, and because of this, there are very few fishing spots that can spawn in the biome. If you’re wanting to hoard a bunch of Lancetfish, or hoping to make a quick buck selling them, you’re likely going to have to make a few circuits of the area in order to empty out the rest of the fishing spots.
