The Barred Knifejaw is a rare fish found in the ocean. This fish can be sold for 5,000 Bells at Tom Nook's store. It appears all day from the months of March to November. A Barred Knifejaw has black and white stripes and, while in the water, has a shadow withing the range of small and medium; the shadow resembles the squid, octopus, and the dab.
The City Folk fish encyclopedia description says the fish has seven white stripes. The information given from the fish encyclopedia gives an official color to the fish: black with white stripes. Along with the other ocean fish, the Barred Knifejaw appears in the back tank when it is donated to the Museum. When the player donates the fish, Blathers lets them now that it is a hard fish to catch.
Donation to the Museum
In Wild World
When the player donates this fish in Animal Crossing: Wild World, Blathers will say:
"<Player>, the very fact that you caught this tells me that you are quite a fisher! Oh, a recipe for Barred Knifejaw? I'd recommend putting it in a broth. Grilling makes the flesh rather tough, eh wot?"
In City Folk
When the player donates this fish in City Folk, Blathers will say:
"Hootie hoo, look at you! You've hauled in a star catch this time! Indeed, simply marvelous work!' The Barred Knifejaw is a clever fish that, it's said, requires some rather fancy fishing to catch. Their monotone color scheme certainly paints them as smart, sensible fish in my eyes, eh wot?"
