Complete Fisch Roblox Appraisal Guide [Fischmas] – All Fish Worth Appraising

Appraising is one of the most poorly explained mechanics in Fisch, and I see people often using it in such a way that they never come out with more money than they invested. So, I prepared a complete Fisch Roblox appraisal guide that will teach you which fish are worth appraising and how to do it.

How to Appraise a Fish in Fisch

To appraise a fish in Fisch, you have to visit the Appraiser NPC (450, 150, 210) in Moosewood. Each appraisal costs C$450, and every time you do it, the fish will be returned to your inventory with modified stats (weight and potential mutation).

Note that if it was favorited in your inventory, it will lose that status once you get it back. The Appraiser can also tell you the current value of your fish, which you should do before you start appraising.

Fisch Appraisal Mechanics Explained

• Appraisal costs C$450, and it can be done multiple times for a single fish.
• You can appraise Enchant Relics and use them to unlock certain items (i.e. Rod of the Depths)
• You can’t appraise bait crates, rods, and other non-fish items.
• Appraisal will remove current mutations from the fish except for Shiny and Sparkling.
• The lower the current weight of the fish is compared to the average, the higher the chance of it being appraised.
• There is a chance that the fish will get a random mutation when appraising (~10%).

Do Events (Shiny Surge, Mutation Surge, etc.) Affect Appraisal?

Yes, event-induced boosts to mutation chance work while appraising. So, it’s best to appraise all your fish during Mutation Surge, Shiny Surge, and other similar events. Aurora doesn’t affect mutation chance, so there is no reason to appraise during it.

When Should You Appraise?

As a rule of thumb, the only fish you want to appraise are Mythic/Event fish that are worth ~C$2,500 or more on average without any mutations. Fish that come to mind are Colossal Squid, Isonade, Nessie, Great White Shark, Great Hammerhead Shark, etc.

Another reason to appraise is if the fish is severely below the average weight. For example, even a relatively cheap fish such as the Captain’s Goldfish (~C$2,000) is worth appraising if it’s weight is ~1Kg, which is basically the minimum. So, the weight can go only up from there.

All Fish Worth Appraising

Below is the list of all fish that are worth appraising. Also, because Shiny/Sparkling mutations stay even after appraisal, appraising any fish that is worth over C$2,500 with Shiny/Sparkling is also worth it. For example, a Moonfish is usually worth around 1,800, but with Shiny/Sparkling, its value is ~3,300, making it worth appraising.

So, to summarize: when you catch a fish you think is valuable, visit the Appraiser, check its price, and if it’s underweight or really expensive, start appraising it over and over again until it gets a modifier or bigger weight you’re satisfied with.

Also, if you haven’t figured that out by now, don’t appraise fish that already have the Mythical or Atlantean mutations (from the Mythical Rod and the Trident Rod) since that will be lost with appraisal. The same goes for the Midas mutation if you’re using the Midas rod.
