Players can have quite a few visitors to their island as they work to make their deserted getaway a real home for themselves and others. One of these iconic visitors is CJ, an excited fisherman intent on making the greatest social media impact that he can. On top of running the local fishing tourneys, CJ will also offer small challenges and even purchase fish from you for higher price than Timmy and Tommy. If you’re trying to decide whether you should hold onto a fish until CJ comes around, then we can help. Below you’ll find a complete breakdown of all of CJ’s fish prices as well as a comparison to the price you can get at Nook’s Cranny.
With so many fish to catch, knowing which ones to sell for profit and which ones aren’t worth much can be tough. While we’ve already detailed most of what you need to know about fishing in our guide to all the fish in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, we’ve finally managed to put together a complete table of all of CJ’s fish prices. This will help you make the most money from fishing that you can, so let’s take a look at the price differences below.
