I’ve been absolutely hooked on the Fisch Valentine’s Update since it dropped on February 7, 2026, and let me tell you – this event is absolutely packed with content! As someone who’s spent countless hours exploring every nook and cranny of Sweetheart Shores, I’m here to share my complete guide to mastering chocolate farming.
The Valentine’s Update (officially called “Valentides 2026”) is a limited-time event that transforms Fisch with a romantic twist. Running until February 21, 2026, this update introduces Sweetheart Shores – a gorgeous new island filled with exclusive fish, quests, and the highly sought-after chocolate currency. Unlike previous years, this event brings way more content including secret locations, duo quests, and some seriously awesome rewards.
Honestly, this update has reignited my passion for Fisch! The combination of competitive leaderboards, secret discoveries, and the race to collect all 25 Valentine’s fish creates this perfect storm of engagement. Plus, watching those chocolate numbers climb as you complete quests is incredibly satisfying. I’ve already sunk over 50 hours into this event, and I’m still finding new strategies!
First things first – you need to get to the event hub. Head over to Moosewood and look for the pink heart portal right in front of the Shipwright. You’ll see “Valentine’s event” hovering above it. Just walk through, and boom – you’re in Sweetheart Shores!
This is hands-down the most efficient way to rack up chocolates. Here’s my optimized quest strategy:
Solo Quests:
Duo Quests (Advanced Strategy):

While questing, you’ll catch tons of extra fish. Here’s how to maximize profits:

Behind Waterfall:
