The Crayfish is a fish that can be caught using a Crab Pot in any freshwater body of water. It can also be gifted by a pet turtle with max friendship. It can also randomly be found at the Traveling Cart for 
225–1,000g.
Like all fish caught from the crab pot, Crayfish cannot be eaten unless it is used in a Cooking recipe or smoked.
