Fish tale

A Patagonian toothfish lives in water almost as cold as ice, near the bottom of the world. It grows big and slowly, like a team built over many seasons. Its home is off the coast of Argentina, who won the World Cup in 2022.

Island story

On Futbol Island the patagonian toothfish can be caught at:

  • Deep Sea Boat: A little fishing boat moored far out in the deep blue bay, north of the East Jetty. Squid, marlin and stranger things swim far below.
  • Summit Deep Boat: A second little fishing boat, moored in the deep channel west of Summit Isle. Green, deep water where tuna, sailfish and marlin hunt the bait balls.

Size on the island: 70–230 cm.
