Rock Crab
A regular How to Fish catch landed with Hot Dog. The lighthouse island is the recommended or lure-unlock stop, not a universal location lock. Like every regular creature, it has a rare drip variant that counts toward Fishipedia.

How to find
Rock Crab: Use Hot Dog; the lighthouse island is the recommended or lure-unlock stop recorded by current guides. Ordinary fish are lure-driven and may be catchable elsewhere with the correct lure and rod. Watch for the rainbow-named drip variant and press Tab to check the encyclopedia entry.
