How to Get Shrimp in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Shrimp is a valuable resource in Disney Dreamlight Valley, but it can be tricky to locate if you don’t know where to look. This guide will walk you through the exact methods to find and catch shrimp, including tips on identifying the right fishing spots and boosting your catch rate.

Finding Shrimp: Location and Ripple Types

The only way to catch shrimp in Disney Dreamlight Valley is by fishing in blue ripples exclusively on Dazzle Beach. While you’ll see many white and orange ripples scattered across the beach, these won’t yield shrimp. You need to target the blue ones specifically.

Cast your fishing rod into a blue ripple and wait for your catch. You’re not guaranteed to get shrimp every time—you might also catch squid or other fish—but blue ripples are your only chance at shrimp.

Dealing with Ripple Scarcity

Finding blue ripples can be challenging since they’re rarer than white or orange ripples on Dazzle Beach. However, there’s a simple solution: if you can’t find any blue ripples, fish in all the other ripples you see instead.

After approximately five minutes, the ripples will respawn in new locations. When they do, there’s a chance they’ll respawn as blue ripples. This method allows you to gradually convert the available fishing spots into blue ones through respawning cycles.

Boosting Your Fish Catch Rate

Assign a Fishing Villager

To increase the number of fish you catch overall, assign a villager to follow you whose job is set to fishing. This passive bonus will help you accumulate more fish while you’re actively fishing.

Unlock Moana’s Boat

Complete the Moana quests to unlock Moana’s boat, which provides a tremendous passive income of fish every single day. At maximum level, Moana’s boat yields 20 fish per collection cycle.

The variety of fish you can collect from Moana’s boat includes salmon, cod, rainbow trout, herring, seaweed, squid, bass, lancet fish, and more. New fish become available every five minutes, making this a reliable long-term farming method.

Note: While Moana’s boat is an excellent passive fish farming tool, shrimp may not appear in its daily catch since shrimp is technically classified as a seafood rather than a standard fish. It’s worth checking for yourself, but primarily rely on active fishing in blue ripples for shrimp.

Summary

To get shrimp in Disney Dreamlight Valley, remember this key rule: fish only in blue ripples on Dazzle Beach. If blue ripples are scarce, fish in other ripples and wait for them to respawn—they may become blue on respawn. Maximize your efficiency by assigning a fishing villager and unlocking Moana’s boat for passive fish generation.
