Deep-sea creatures

Deep-Sea Creatures (海の幸, seafood) are a type of catchable creature in the, the other types being bugs and fish. Deep-Sea Creatures first appear in. The player catches them by swimming in the sea and diving down when directly above them, or swimming once underwater. Some are as small as the Mantis Shrimp or as large as the Japanese Spider Crab and Giant Isopod.

Similar to fish and bugs, they can be donated to the Museum upon talking to Blathers, who will then put them on display in the deep-sea creatures exhibit.

Many of the fish in previous Animal Crossing games are now deep-sea creatures. These include the octopus, crab and lobster.
