Not only didStardew Valley’s Update 1.6 bring a ton of new content, but it also revamped existing features in this adorable farming sim. With the new Advanced Iridium Rod and theFish Smoker, the fishing experience just got a lot better in this update. If that wasn’t enough, you can also getLegendary Roe. This rare delicacy comes with its own set of challenges. This guide breaks down exactly how you can get Legendary Roe inStardew Valley.
How To Get Legendary Roe in Stardew Valley
Unlike regular fish that can be directly placed in ponds to produce roe quickly,LegendaryRoe requires a Legendary Fish to be placed in a pond, where it will slowly produce roe over time.
First off, you’ll need tocatch one of the five Legendary Fishin the game. Each legendary fish has its own unique requirements and locations. Once caught, place it in a pond, and it will gradually produce roe. Remember,only one legendary fish canreside in a pond at a time, and theydo not naturally reproducelike other fish.

Uses of Legendary Roe in Stardew Valley
Like regular roe, you canplace Legendary Roe in aPreserves Jarto make Aged Roe, which is a higher-value Artisan Good. For instance,Glacierfishproduces four units of Roe at a time, each of which sells for 530 gold. Selling all four units at once will net you 2,120 gold in one go, which is a pretty decent amount.
However, placing Glacierfish Roe in a Preserves Jar for three days turns them into Aged Roe, each of which sells for 1,484 gold. Selling all four Aged Roe units would result in 5,936gold inStardew Valley. As such, selling Aged Legendary Roe provides a much higher profit compared to selling fresh roe.
