How to Obtain

Pacific Saury can be obtained from several maps during the event. They drop more frequently than the Hishimochi, but will require appropriate equipment to do so.

 
Pacific Saury has been successfully discovered!

Fish can only be found in certain sortie maps; when your fleet go to certain sortie maps and enters battle, the music "Saury Festival at the Naval Office" cues in: Play.

  • Note that some locations without the BGM can also drop saury such as 1-1.
     
    Pacific Saury drop

Within the fishing zones, your fleet must battle the abyssal fleet and score an S rank (or an A rank in World 3). Upon completion, you will have a chance for saury to drop. After the battle, you might receive a notification that you have fished some saury and will then receive it prior to any ship drops.

The Pacific saury cannot be used for anything by itself; you must collect several of them in order to "cook" them to make them into resources or a new seasonal item.

In order to raise your chance of obtaining Pacific saury, you will need to use specific equipment (note that multiple pieces synergize). According to the Dev's Tweet [1] they mention that you need to use equipment in order to "Search", "Gather", and "Locate" the Pacific Saury. Based on that information alone, it suggests that it hints that in order to find the fish you'll need to "Search" with a  Sonar, "Gather" the fish with a  Searchlight and "Locate" them with  Skilled Lookouts.

You can hold up to a maximum of 99 Raw Pacific Saury at a time without cooking them.

"Overfishing" at certain maps or nodes can result in reduced fish drop rates.

Saury have higher chances of dropping in the fishing zones within 1-5, 1-6, and all of world 3.
