How to get mermaid recipes
The only way to get mermaid recipes in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is to fish for scallops and meet Pascal the Otter. Keep fishing underwater for sea creatures and occasionally you’ll find a scallop. Sometimes when this happens, Pascal will ask to trade the scallop for a mermaid item. If you’re after the recipes then you should always say yes to this, as he only turns up every so often when collecting scallops, which are already fairly rare.
Mermaid clothing
In addition to the mermaid recipes in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Pascal can also give you a range of mermaid outfits, here’s the full list:
- Mermaid Fishy Dress
- Mermaid Princess Dress
- Mermaid Tiara
- Mermaid Shoes
And there you have it, the full list of mermaid recipes in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
