Animal Crossing New Horizons Valuable Bugs Fish ShellsSource: iMore

Life is pretty awesome on Animal Crossing's deserted island. There's plenty of lush foliage, and the ocean is serene. You can almost forget that you're still seriously in debt to a trash panda. But the loan is always there, looming over you. Of course, if you're looking for a way to make some money, you should be on the look out for valuable critters and items that you can sell to Timmy and Tommy Nook.

When you're running around your island or whenever you visit another island using a Nook Miles Ticket, you're going to want to make sure you fill your pockets with the most valuable items. Trying to figure out how to get a lot of Bells in Animal Crossing? Here's a list of the most valuable fish, bugs, and shells along with how much you'll get for selling them at Nook's Cranny.

Prime Day may have ended, but these 25 deals are still available now!

Pro Tip: Consider stocking up on the most lucrative fish and bugs and then selling them when bug enthusiast Flick or fishing champ C.J. visits your island. You'll make a ton more money that way since these visitors pay 150% the number of Bells that you'll get from Nook's Cranny.

Trying to figure out how to get a lot of Bells in Animal Crossing? Fishing is definitely one way to go.The following are the most valuable fish in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

I've included anything worth 15,000 Bells to 1,000 Bells from most valuable to least. In my opinion, it isn't worth collecting fish that are worth less than 800 Bells, unless I'm planning on turning them into Blathers at the Museum.
