You have to catch Kingfish in Disney Dreamlight Valley in order to cook certain meals or fulfill Star Path and Dreamlight Dutys.
Kingfish can only be caught by fishing in certain biomes, and even then you’ll need to search for the right bubble color and fish at the right time, so we’ve detailed exactly how to catch kingfish in Disney Dreamlight Valley below. Just know that it’s still a pretty rare catch, even when you’re doing everything right.

How to Catch Kingfish in Disney Dreamlight Valley
King mackerel can be found in the waters of Dazzle Beach, but it’s a very rare find, so you’ll need to be prepared before looking for one.
The best way to catch Kingfish in Disney Dreamlight Valley is to fish blue bubbles at Dazzle Beach at night. It’s also possible to catch Kingfish in white fishing spots this way, but it doesn’t happen as often.
We started catching Kingfish more often after 6 p.m. local time, but it seems to be more common around 8 p.m. according to some players on the DreamlightValley subreddit. Either way, best to avoid trying to catch Kingfish unless it’s late in the evening or at night.
As a general rule, we recommend that you fish all the places where you can hunt Kingfish, because you have to get rid of these places to force the respawn of a possible blue fishing spot anyway.
If you plan on raising Kingfish, we recommend you either bring some food with you to keep your blue energy bar replenished (cocoa beans are surprisingly good for this), or unlock the wishing well in the area where you farm, then you can fast travel between the biome and your home to refill your energy bar without making a meal.

While fishing you should also ‘hang out’ with a character that has a fishing bonus, as it means they will sometimes give you more Kingfish after you find one. This fishing bonus is not limited to one character, as you can choose which bonus each of the villagers gets when you reach a certain point in their friendship. Just keep in mind that most of the time these extra fish don’t count towards Dreamlight Duties or Star Path quests.
Once you’re done with Kingfish, you might want to fish for seaweed instead, or find clay and rich soil for crafting.
