How To Get Ingredients For Pickled Herring

Acquiring the main ingredient for Pickled Herring may seem daunting, but with a little effort, it can be easily procured. Herring is a common fish in the game and can be caught in the right areas. As long as the player knows where to fish, they can easily gather a decent supply.

- Herring

Herring can be caught by fishing in the white pools found in the Dazzle Beach and Glade of Trust biomes. It's recommended to bring a companion with a high Fishing level, especially one with a Friendship level of 10, to increase the chances of catching an extra fish. Additionally, players can also obtain Herring as part of the catch from Moana's boat.

- Lemon

Lemons are a common fruit that grows on trees in the Forest of Valor and Glade of Trust. These trees have a fast respawn rate, allowing players to harvest them frequently. If the tree emits a bright yellow glow, players have a chance to receive a bonus yield of fruit based on their button-mashing skills.

- Onion

Growing onions in the game requires players to plant onion seeds and take care of them until they are fully matured. These seeds can be purchased from Goofy's Stall in the Forest of Valor for 50 Star Coins per bag. However, players should keep in mind that onions take a considerable amount of time to grow, so they must be diligent in watering their crops. In order to increase the yield, it's recommended that players bring a gardening companion to help with the harvesting process.

- Herb

The possibilities for the final herb ingredient are endless. With five options to choose from, including Mint, Ginger, Basil, Garlic, and Oregano, the player can experiment with different flavors and combinations. Opting for Garlic alone will result in the creation of regular Pickled Herring, but adding another herb to the mix will give rise to the coveted Arendellian Pickled Herring instead.

Disney Dreamlight Valley is now playable on a variety of platforms, including Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
