In Stardew Valley, players have the opportunity to fish and use their catches as food, gifts, or more. Some fish carry a higher price tag than others, and they spawn in various locations around the game. It should be noted that some fish will only spawn at certain times and the Bream falls into this category.

In relation to its sell price and how easy it is to catch, it is one of the better fishes early on in the game, and players often try to find them for recipes, gifts, and gold. Here's the complete guide on Bream in Stardew Valley.


Stardew Valley bream: the complete guide

Fish can be found in all bodies of water and in certain underground locations. Some fish only spawn at certain times of the day or during particular seasons while others only appear during certain weather. The Bream is a Stardew Valley fish that can be caught at the river (either in Pelican Town or Cindersap Forest) during all seasons after 6.00 pm. Funnily enough, Bream can also be found randomly in Garbage Cans during any season or at the Traveling Cart for anywhere between 135 to 1,000 gold.

Just like with every other fish, Stardew Valley players will have to win the fishing minigame that occurs when they've successfully hooked a fish. The catch meter will increase while the fish is kept successfully within the green fishing bar, and will decrease while it's not. Once the meter is filled, the fish is caught.
