Fishing is one of the most popular hobbies a player can have in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. While there are some fish that players can catch quite easily, others can give players a hard time. These are known as the rare fish in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

While these fish can be difficult to capture, rare fish can also earn players quite a few Bells if they choose to sell them at Nook's Cranny or to C.J. instead of donating them to the Museum.

Here are some of the rarest fish in New Horizons.

The Saw Shark is one of the rarest fish in New Horizons and can be obtained between 4 PM and 9 AM in both hemispheres (north and south).

The months that players will be able to acquire this shark are from June to September in the northern hemisphere and December to March in the southern hemisphere.

Players will be able to identify the fish from its large-sized shadow with fins.

Once caught, players can sell the Saw Shark for 12,000 Bells at Nook's Cranny or for 18,000 Bells to C.J. if they can spot him.

The Whale Shark is a saltwater fish that can be caught in New Horizons throughout the year at any time of the day, regardless of the hemisphere. Players won't have a hard time spotting this fish due to its large shadow.

Once they have caught the Whale Shark, players can sell it for 13,000 Bells at Nook's Cranny, but C.J. will offer them 19,500 Bells for the same.

The Barreleye is one of the most valuable fish in New Horizons. The fish can be found in the ocean throughout the year, but players can only catch it between 9 PM and 4 AM.
