Donating to the museum[edit]

InNew Leaf[edit]

When donated to the museum, it is found on the primary tank in the first room of the fish exhibit, in the northeast portion of the tank. The information board in the aquarium will list information about this sea creature:

"Also called "northern shrimp," they have a life span of about 5 years, in which they are male for half. After that time, the shrimps change genders and become females, a rather unique feature of the species. The females are a popular sashimi dish, but they don't instantly have their characteristic sweetness. That sweetness actually comes out after they're left to sit for a day, making them a dish of patience."

InNew Horizons[edit]

When donating to the museum,Blathers will say the following:

"Thesweet shrimp spends the first few years of its life as a male. It then transitions into a female as it ages. Interestingly, it is hardly alone in the type of development cycle. Indeed, a great variety of marine creatures can change their biological sex as they age.Clown fish, somesea stars, andsea bass are among them. Hoo hoo, the ocean is full of a great many wonders. Huzzah to that, I say!"

Once donated, the sweet shrimp can be seen in the icy waters tank alongside thesea urchin and thescallop.

Fishing Tourney[edit]

InNew Leaf[edit]

During aFishing Tourney, when given a sweet shrimp,Chip will not score the sea creature but will say the following:

"Sweet shrimp make great sashimi, but try 'em deep fried as soon as you get the chance! Me? I'm just gonna gulp 'em down as they are now! YUM!"
