Where to sell your fish in Heartopia

To earn a lot of gold very quickly in Heartopia, selling fish is one of the best methods. To do this, you'll need to find the merchant Albert Jr. This non-player character (NPC) is your only buyer for almost all the items in your inventory.

At the start of your adventure, Albert Jr. is often found near your house, but his position may vary depending on your progress in the game. Simply check the world map if you can't find him at his usual spot.

To sell your fish, simply talk to Albert Jr. In the interaction menu that appears, choose “Sell Items”. You can then browse your inventory to select the fish, or other items you wish to sell.

Note
Be careful, some fish are worth much more than others, especially rare ones or those that are harder to catch.

Completing the “Settling In” quest by selling fish

Fishing plays a role in completing certain quests in Heartopia, namely the residents' quest “Settling In”. This quest requires you to sell enough fish or crops to accumulate at least 1200 gold coins, and unlock four housing plots.

To check your progress on this quest, open your Watch (Tab key on PC) and click on Memo, where you can view your main and side quests in progress. Go to the central column, which lists the Residents' Daily Requests. There you'll find the “Settling In” quest, with the game directing you to Albert Jr., from whom you can sell your fish.

Tip
An effective method is to dedicate a few gaming sessions to intensive fishing in areas rich in fish, then sell all your catches to Albert Jr., which will allow you to quickly reach the required gold, while not forgetting to unlock the four required housing plots.

Once both requirements - 1200 gold coins plus unlocking four housing plots - are met, you'll be able to complete the “Settling In” quest.
