Guide to completing the 'For Want of Fish' side story in Octopath Traveler. Learn how to get Saucy Prawns or defeat the Fishmonger for rewards.
Alright, let's tackle the 'For Want of Fish' side story in Octopath Traveler. It's a pretty straightforward one that pops up after you finish Alfyn's Chapter 1, and it's located in Clearbrook. You'll get some Leaves and a Mighty Belt for your trouble, which is always nice!

Where: Clearbrook, western side, near the river.
What: You'll find a fisherman who's having a rough time catching anything. He's lamenting his lack of success.
What to do: Head into the tavern in Clearbrook. Inside, on the left, you'll see two patrons. Talk to the one on the right. He'll mention his buddy used some super tasty prawns to catch fish, and that's what this fisherman is missing.
What to do next: Now you need to get your hands on these **Saucy Prawns**. You can either use Therion's 'Steal' skill on the NPC inside the tavern who has them, or if you prefer, you can 'Purchase' them from him. Once you have the prawns, bring them back to the fisherman by the river.

Alternate Solution:
Where: West Clearbrook Traverse. You'll need to bring either H'aanit or Olberic with you for this part.
What to do: From the Clearbrook exit, head south across the bridge. To your west, you'll spot a Fishmonger. You can use H'aanit's 'Challenge' or Olberic's 'Provoke' skill on him. Defeat him in battle, and that will also complete the side story.
