Players will be happy to hear that Anchovy can be caught year-round in the latest entry in the fan-favorite Nintendo franchise in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. This year-round schedule means players will not have a limited time to catch as many of this fish as possible before they go away for some time. However, they will only spawn between the hours of 4 AM to 9 PM, which means players will have to be fishing during these times if they want to catch any Anchovy. 

Individuals looking for this particular fish will need to head to the sea, considering the sea is the one location where this fish will spawn at the above times year-round.

Unfortunately, selling the Anchovy will only get you 200 Bells for each one, so do not expect to get wealthy from catching and selling these particular fish.
