One of the most expensive ocean fish, the blue marlin, despite appearing all the time in late summer, is actually very hard to find. Selling for 10,000 Bells, this fish resembles a swordfish. It has a long, pointed extension of its mouth. The fish can be found all day. When placed in the museum in all games, the fish goes in the very back tank and zips around, very quickly. The shadow of this huge fish is, well, huge.

Further information
The Animal Crossing blue marlin is actually the Atlantic variation. In the wild, it uses its big spear-like snout to attack fish and cepapholods that it may eat, such as tunaand squid. Represented in-game by the fact that it only appears in summer, the Atlantic blue marlin generally stays to the area of ocean south of Spain but north of South Africa. There are many names for this fish such as billfish, ocean guard and Cuban black marlin.
