Notes
- This is a large fish, and will give the message "Something caught the hook!!!" accompanied by the monster fish music; therefore it is possible to fish up a monster instead, though I personally did not fish up one single monster using a *Single Hook Fishing Rod and *Sinking Minnow lure in *Talacca Cove with skill 10.
- Lu Shang's Fishing Rod + Shell Bug fished this up with no monsters caught in 10 casts at level 86 fishing skill.
- Fast way to Talacca Cove: Use Caedarva Mire (Home Point #1), and then head east.
Background
This food from the Near East translates from the Turkish "istavrit", referring to a type of mackerel.
