The Day of the Ox Goals event involved catching fish at Saltwater Shores from July 20th to July 23rd, 2022.
Fish had to be caught by the player, or by using Sea Throw Net, Sea Throw Net (Medium), or Sea Throw Net (Large) to count towards the event goals. Fish received as gifts from villagers or bought from Market Boxes did not count. After the event ended, any remaining fish stayed in the inventory and were able to be bought, sold, and used to fulfill animals' requests.
