Nessie Favorite Fish — What to Serve in Scale the Depths

Nessie in Loch Ness wants Beithir — a legendary catch, not something you will have spare early. Because Beithir is a boss-tier fish, treat Nessie as a customer you deliberately save that catch for rather than one you can satisfy on a normal run.

Nessie pays up to 875 coins (700 base plus a 175 favorite tip). That puts it among the more valuable customers in its world, so clearing its favorite threshold is worth the extra scaling care.

Keep Eurasian Minnow and Three-Spined Stickleback away from Nessie — those are the fish that lower its payout. Everything else is fair game as long as it fills the hunger of 1000.

Beithir is caught in Loch Ness — the same world where you meet Nessie, so you can serve it fresh without backtracking. It has 200 health and a feed value of 700. Scale it cleanly to clear Nessie’s favorite threshold and bank the 175-coin tip.

Full stats for every catch are in the fish almanac.

The Loch Ness Monster, better known as Nessie, is a famous creature said to inhabit Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands. Reports of strange beings in the loch date back centuries. Over time, the creature has been described in many ways, from a monstrous fish to a sea serpent or even a dragon. Interest in Nessie surged in the early 20th century after a series of sightings, photographs, and sonar readings appeared to show something large moving beneath the surface. One of the most famous images, the "surgeon's photograph", taken in 1934, seemed to show a long neck rising from the water. Despite decades of searching and countless expeditions, many people have left Loch Ness without ever seeing the creature themselves. Whether hidden in the deep waters or simply avoiding curious visitors, Nessie remains one of Scotland's most enduring legends. In truth, the creature is simply a gentle giant of the loch and perhaps just a little camera-shy.
