How to catch Sardine
Use the Fishing Rod. The exact approach depends on the creature’s category and, for shore-dwellers, its species type.
- Cast the Fishing Rod into the right water: rivers and lakes for freshwater fish, coastal waters for saltwater fish.
- Wait for the nibbles, then strike when the line bites down.
- Common freshwater fish and gray saltwater fish can usually be caught straight away after the bite.
First catch: the creature is added to the Omnidex. Offer it to Mors at the Omni-Gallery to put it on display and unlock its Omnipedia entry.

Omnipedia
Pelagic Zone · Sardina pilchardus
The green pilchard typically moves in schools.
It's said that green pilchard caught by fishing boats suffer from low activity. In order to keep them fresh till their destination, fishermen would add a catfish to the school, so it can agitate them and keep them moving.
The fact of the matter is, since most catfish are freshwater species, the idea that they are used to agitate pilchard from salt waters is a bit of a stretch.
