Tips
  • Most fruits (Apples, Bananas, Coconuts, Lemons, Oranges, Peaches, Pears) come from shaking your regular fruit trees. If you have started planting non-native fruit trees, those will work too!
  • Mushrooms (Flat, Round, Skinny) can be found near trees or tree stumps, especially in November. Keep an eye out!
  • For special ingredients like Butter, Milk, Sugar, Vinegar, and Flour, you'll need to catch fish and then give them to villagers who are specifically wearing a chef's outfit in their home. Make sure they're cooking!
  • Diving is your best bet for Clams, Lobsters, Oysters, Scallops, and Seaweed. Just dive into the water and grab them!
  • Fishing will get you a good variety of fish like Barred Knifejaw, Dab, Horse Mackerel, Olive Flounder, Red Snapper, and Sea Bass.
