Huatulco Fish — Every Catch, Ranked by Value

All 17 fish you can catch in Huatulco, the second world of Scale the Depths — ranked by feeding value, with the health of each catch and the customer who pays the most for it.

Huatulco is the second world in Scale the Depths, and it holds 17 catchable fish — from the Northern Anchovy at just 34 feeding value up to Hoga at 850. That is a 816-point spread, so which Huatulco fish you serve matters a lot more than how many you land: a single Hoga is worth roughly 25× a bag of Northern Anchovy.

The 1 highest-value catches here — Hoga — are the ones worth saving for hungry, high-paying customers. Everything below them fills small orders and keeps a run moving, but it will not clear a big customer's favorite threshold on its own. The list below is ranked by feeding value, highest first, so the money fish sit at the top where you want them.

Huatulco's legendary fish is Hoga — a boss catch far above the 850-value Hoga at the top of the regular pool, and the single most valuable thing you can pull out of this world. It gets its own catch-and-prep guide below the almanac.
