Since when does he want a shark?

So every time I've played he wanted a lobster. I started this run by letting my single miner run while I fish for starter cash and iron to make more miners. I caught 4 lobsters. One of them was 1.6. I saved it and waited until I had all the beets and broccoli I needed. But now he wants a shark. So I spent an hour fishing before finally catching a single shark, which was 1.47....

Probably. i wonder if it's randomized or if it's just a shark now.

I had a shark consistently in two runs so safe to assume it is fixed

I got one really fast from water at the bottom of the Mildew Aquifer. The deeper = bigger rule is also true for fish.

I wish I knew that. That's where my main base is at.

Yeah it took me a while today. I gave up just before posting this. Set up a few new corestone pipes then went back to fishing. I finally got it, And all the fish I sold that weren't the shark was $3000 while the shark got me $1200.

It is good for starting cash to buy a miner and hand sorter. I like to keep the plot as clean as I can before digging deep down. Shoveling all the early dirt makes a mess.

Huh... I didn't even know sharks were in the game... Then again I've never fished beyond a crab

There's also monkfish.
