The Squid is a fish that can be caught in the ocean at The Beach or on the Beach Farm in the evening during Winter. It can also randomly be found in Garbage Cans during Winter, or at the Traveling Cart for data-sort-value="80"240–1,000g. Squid can be caught during the entire day on Winter 12th and 13th during the SquidFest festival. Pierre sells five Squid for data-sort-value="10"> 10 Calico Eggs each during the Desert Festival.

When placed in a Fish Pond, Squid will produce Squid Ink instead of Roe, although Squid Roe can be found in Fishing Treasure Chests after obtaining the power from the Jewels Of The Sea book.

Squid can be caught regardless of time of day or season using Magic Bait.
