This is a rare fish that is difficult to catch – although not as difficult as other legendaries out there, such as the Crimsonfish.

But since it’s one of the most special fish in the game, it deserves an article where you can learn everything about it.

How Do You Catch a Void Salmon in Stardew Valley?

The Void Salmon a fish that can only be found in the witch’s swamp through the cave beside the train platform. This means that you can catch the Void Salmon in any season and on any type of weather. But it still won’t be easy!

Fortunately, as long as you get the location right, nothing else matters and you will eventually get this fish.

Have in mind that the Witch’s Swamp will only become accessible in-game after you complete the quest “Dark Talisman” which is obtained from the Wizard. It is a special location, similar to The Sewers.

But once you get access to the Witch’s Swamp, you can return whenever you want. And that’s a good thing, because capturing the fish will require some grinding.
