A common misconception is that they’ll eat just about anything. While they’re generally eager to approach you, offering the *right* food ensures you’ll get the best results and efficiently advance your progress. This guide will tell you the correct recipes so you can feed the turtles.

Locating Sea Turtle Food Ingredients

Before you can whip up any culinary delights for your sea turtle pals, you’ll need to gather the essential ingredients. Thankfully, the primary component is easily found right on the beach!

Seaweed

The most readily available ingredient for sea turtle food is **seaweed**. It’s the foundational building block of their preferred treats. You’ll find it in a few different ways:

• **Fishing:** The most common method for obtaining seaweed is by fishing in the ocean, particularly in the waters around Dazzle Beach. Keep an eye out for white ripple circles on the water’s surface; these are often prime fishing spots. You don’t need any special fishing rod upgrade to catch it.
• **Beach Harvest:** Occasionally, seaweed will wash up on the shore of Dazzle Beach. It blends in easily, so keep an eye out while you explore. Take the time to check along the shoreline!
• **Harvesting:** Some characters, like Ariel, can sometimes give you seaweed as a quest reward or a friendship gift.

Other Ingredients

Seaweed might be the foundation, but sometimes you’ll need something more to prepare the perfect snack. The need for extra ingredients depends on which recipe you intend to make.

If other ingredients are needed (depending on the recipes), here’s where to find them.

• **Fishing:** Some recipes may require specific fish. Different types of fish can be caught in various biomes, so familiarize yourself with the different areas. Check the fishing circles in different areas, such as the Glade of Trust or the Frosted Heights, to see what they have to offer.
• **Foraging:** Certain recipes call for foraged ingredients like herbs. Explore the various biomes and look for items on the ground.
• **Farming:** Depending on future updates, there may be recipes that need harvested crops.
