The Mystery Squish Fish is a treasure in Pikmin 4. It is a clear container in the shape of a fish with a red lid, containing a brown liquid, probably soy sauce. Containers like these are used in many takeout shops to distribute soy sauce.

Collecting the treasure

The following article or section contains guides. The strategies shown are just suggestions.

Serene Shores

There is a Mystery Squish Fish buried deep underground in the circular arena at the northwest of the overworld. It is attach to a fishing rope, which must be pulled to unearth the treasure. Then, you must throw 2 Pikmin at it to collect the treasure. It's recommended to clear the enemies in the arena before doing so, which is much easier done on low tide.

Seafloor Resort

There is a Mystery Squish Fish submerged on the eastern side of the central pool of sublevel 3 of the Seafloor Resort, hidden in the grass. To collect this treasure, you must throw 2 Blue Pikmin. There are also two other Mystery Squish Fish just to the west of the this one, in the same body of water but out in the open.

Notes

Schnauz's notes

“What a mysterious new species of fish! Its body is transparent, yet inside it's full of a black liquid. Give it a good squeeze, and this liquid squishes right out. The liquid is tasty, although quite salty, to be honest. Surely that must mean it comes from the sea!”

Olimar's notes

“It's disturbing to see a mouth that can be removed like a cap. If it were reattached improperly, would the bodily fluids simply pour right out?! I remember when a supposedly airtight container of mine once failed. My bag smelled like onion soup for a week!”

Louie's notes

“Just one splash of this creature's liquefied innards improves the flavor of any dish. I'll never leave home without it.”
