This fish, also known as Chinook Salmon is very large, often growing to be over 75 lbs. They are very beautiful and are known to be very good fighters when fishing.

The king salmon (キングサーモン, Kingu sāmon) is the largest Salmonid in Animal Crossing: Wild World and Animal Crossing: City Folk. It sells for 1,800 Bells and is approximately 163 cm (64) long. It appears from late August to late September at any time of the day. It can be found in the river or the ocean.

Donating to the Museum

As with all fish in the Animal Crossing series series, the king salmon can be donated to the museum aquarium by talking to Blathers, who will follow up the donation with a small talk about it. In Animal Crossing: Wild World, it can be found in the top-most tank. In Animal Crossing: City Folk, it can be found in the middle-right tank.

In Wild World

Blathers will say this upon the donation:

"The king salmon will swim upstream to spawn, as most people know... What many DON'T know, however, is that it eats nothing while en route! As such, when king salmon begin their journey at the mouth of a river... They're all fatties! Think upon that the next time you eat an entire cake before working out, wot!"

In City Folk

Blathers will say the following upon the donation:

"...Hoo, quite impressive! This one put up quite a fight, I should think? The regal king salmon dwarfs lesser salmon with an overall length of up to 60 inches, eh wot? Its size makes catching it with a net difficult, so most people rely on a fishing rod to catch the king!"

In New Leaf

"King salmon grow to about twice the size of regular salmon, which really helps them embody the name. This size essentially makes them the actual kings of salmon, though they are also called chinook salmon. In some regions, they return to the river in spring or summer and live there until spawning in the fall. In rare cases, king salmons' meat will be white, but these are not as popular since pink is the standard."

Encyclopedia Information

In Animal Crossing: Wild World and Animal Crossing: City Folk, players can access an encyclopedia once they have caught some fish or bugs. The information regarding the king salmon.
