Donating to the museum[edit]

InNew Leaf[edit]

The information board in front of the tank that houses the giant trevally says the following:

"Though you wouldn't guess it because of their size, giant trevallys are actually a type of mackerel. Unlike normally slim and sleek mackerels, giant trevallys have wide, silver bodies. Surprisingly, though, these fish cannot tolerate the cold, so they tend to live in warmer places. Their jaw strength is great enough to bite off a person's finger, so be very careful when fishing for them!"

InNew Horizons[edit]

When donating to Blathers or selecting "Tell me about this!" inNew Horizons, he will provide the following information about the fish:

"Thegiant trevally, as befits its name, can reach six feet in length and 180 pounds! Its size and strength have made it a favored opponent for anglers since time immemorial. They are also ingenious hunters, sometimes taking advantage of other predators to distract their prey. There have even been documented cases of them attacking—gulp—birds."

Once donated, the giant trevally can be found in the north-east room of the fish exhibit, in the large central tank with the porthole windows. It will often swim near the glass wall, and sometimes will try to pierce theanchovy school, scattering them for a moment—it shares this behavior with many of the large fish also in this tank.

Fishing Tourney[edit]

InNew Leaf[edit]

During aFishing Tourney, when given a giant trevally,Chip will say the following:

"With giant trevally, anything goes! Sashimi, grilled, fried... It's all tasty! Maybe even smoked in a sandwich! Course I'll just be eating this guy as is. No reservations here! YUM!"
