if you wouldn’t mind is there any way you’d know what kind of fish they’d sell at the fish markets in waterdeep? EVERYTHING, from the most numerous [silverfin (freshwater and saltwater-caught)] to rarities like giant deepwater squid. Over the years, I've covered the dozen or so most popular unique-to-the-Realms fish to be had along the Sword Coast, mostly in Volo's Guides.

In winter, eels, silverfin, and yenth (palm-sized bronze fish like smallmouth bass; VERY tasty) and oysters are about all that's easily taken without merfolk assistance. In summer, silverfin is still the most numerous, but harrake, longfin, brownback, and redfin are close behind.
