The Big Shad Fish is located near the coasts of East Anglia, Lincolnscire and Eurviscire. Players have also reported to have spotted the Big Shad under bridges in the East Anglia waters.

One way to identify if it is a Big Shad or not is to look at the fish through your photo mode and zoom in on the fish to see what type and size that fish is.

2. Mackerel Location in AC Valhalla

Mackerels can be found swimming in the seas of Rygjafylke and Hordafylke regions. Players can use their Odin’s Sight to spot the fish and use photo mode to detect the size. If the fishes are not found near the coast, players need their longboats or ships to sail to the middle of the sea before fishing.
