Stardew Valley 1.6 was teased as the raccoon update until ConcernedApe made our wildest dreams come true by letting us drink mayonnaise, thereafter dubbing 1.6 as the “Mayo update.” And while raccoons are a big part of the game’s latest update, there are other new creatures you can find in town, like the all-important Sea, River, and Cave Jellies. Here’s how to get your hands on them.

The only way to obtain Jellies in Stardew Valley is through fishing, so whip out your fishing rod and get some quality bait from Willy. Jellies are a rare catch, so it can take a while for them to appear.

I strongly recommend you start by fishing the Sea Jelly to get the plus one Fishing bonus, and then move on to catch the other two.

  • Sea Jelly: Fishing in any saltwater in Pelican Town or Ginger Island in any season at any time.
  • River Jelly: Fishing in any sweetwater in Pelican Town in any season at any time.
  • Cave Jelly: Fishing in any level of the mines of Pelican Town or the Skull Cavern in the desert, as long as it’s got a lake.

Best uses for Jellies in Stardew Valley

The best use for Jellies in Stardew Valley is to either consume them for health energy, sell them for gold, or use them to craft a Fish Smoker. Here’s a breakdown of their stats:

  • Cave Jelly restores 75 energy, and 33 health, and grants a plus-one Luck bonus for seven hours.
  • River Jelly restores 75 energy, and 33 health, and grants a plus-30-max energy bonus for seven hours.
  • Sea Jelly restores 88 energy, and 39 health, and grants a plus-one Fishing bonus for seven hours.
