{{#seo:

|keywords=Stardew Valley Wiki, Stardew Valley, Crab Pot, gift |site_name=Stardew Valley Wiki |type=article |title=Crab Pot - Stardew Valley Wiki }} Crab pots are floated on the shores of bodies of water (lakes, ponds, rivers, or the ocean) and primed with bait in order to catch fish. Players with the Luremaster profession don't need to add bait.

Harvesting a crab pot gives 5 Fishing experience points, even if trash is caught or the item is normally a Beach forage item. Fish caught with crab pots also count towards the four fishing achievements (Fisherman, Ol' Mariner, Master Angler, and Mother Catch).

Crab pots can be crafted, purchased for data-sort-value="1500">1,500g at Willy's Fish Shop once you've reached fishing skill level 3, and three are rewarded for completing the Crab Pot Bundle in the Fish Tank.

Stages

Crab pots have three stages, which can be distinguished visually:

Image Description
The crab pot is empty. If you don't have the Luremaster profession, you need to add bait before it will catch anything.
The crab pot contains bait, and will catch something the next morning. (If you have the Luremaster profession, you'll see the 'empty' image instead.)
The crab pot caught something and can be harvested. An icon of what it contains will appear above the crab pot.

Catch

The day after placing a crab pot, the following items can be found in it:

Anywhere

Unless you have the Mariner profession, the following trash items can be obtained by putting a crab pot in any type of water, which includes the river, the lake and the ocean. The chance of trash appearing is 20%, regardless of luck or fishing skill; all items are equally likely to appear. Trash can be recycled into useful items.

Tips

  • Because the freshwater catches sell for a low value and can be easily caught in large quantities, they're ideal choices for turning into Quality Fertilizer. During the early game you may want to put a handful of crab pots in your farm's ponds (where they're easily accessible to harvest daily) so that you can make fertilizer out of their catches and net a bit of fishing experience.
  • The Crab Pot may be used to catch a lobster for the Wanted: Lobster Quest.
  • When the Luremaster Profession is taken, it becomes very easy to accidentally pick up your crab pots immediately after harvesting them. In order to prevent this from happening, a simple set of steps must be followed; First, clear your entire inventory bar. Secondly, select the furthest right empty inventory space. Finally, only harvest the crab pots via left-clicking. So long as you do not right click, and the selected inventory slot is not filled by harvested trash or fish, your character will not pick up the crab pots!
    • Without the profession, the easiest way is to have the bait selected as you empty the crab pots, easily baiting the pot right away. Baited Crab Pots cannot be picked up.
  • It is possible to place crab pots in the pond floors of The Mines (floors 20, 60 and 100). However, while the game allows the player to place crab pots there, these will disappear by the next day and be irrevocably lost.
