The Oilfish is the most common fish you can catch via trolling in the Temperate Ocean and Frigid Ocean. In real life, the oilfish secretes an oily substance onto its skin and holes in its mouth, making them harder to be caught on hooks. It is often marketed as a cheaper substitute for Black Cod due to its white and light meat, but it is not advised to consume them as their meat is oily and can cause a severe stomach disease known as Keriorrhea

Techniques:[]

This fish does not need much skill to catch. All you need is a trolling tour to the Temperate Ocean or Frigid ocean, and Pink, Purple, or White Bait. You are almost guaranteed to catch one of these fish if you are doing this. However, this fish is often a nuisance when trying to catch bigger, rarer, and more valuable species.
