Officially the cutest thing to fish up in World of Warcraft.

It's going to make such a cute sushi roll one day....

Sea Scorpions were real animals! Instead of a stinger, many of them had hardened tail flukes. The largest among them could reach nine feet, making them about the size of modern dolphins. Not something you want to fish up.

They went extinct millions of years before the rise of the dinosaurs, during the deadliest extinction event of all time.

This macro will let you spam one button to use all fish in your bags without searching and it is very quick. I saved each macro by zone.

Favorite Spot: Stormshield 54, 82. In town so you can use all of the local services and still see trade. Also no worries of being ganked or being attached.

Sea Scorpions can be found in the sea of course. The best spot I found was in Taldor at the Orunal Coast (53, 11). You have to avoid mobs coming in on boats but it is a good amount of pools with fast respawn.

I found the best place to farm these The Sunset Shore in Talador, it's a little island off the Western coast, on your map it's west of Gul'rok. There are lot's of pools, and on the island are no mobs at all.

The best place I've found to farm Sea Scorpion is in the Shattrath City Harbor in NW Talador. Pools are plentiful from the extreme west side of the harbor (Beacon of Sha'Tar around 34,16) all the way to the easternmost point of the harbor (Sha'tari Anchorage around 50,25).

There are literally dozens of pools that respawn quickly all along the docks. NPCs will leave you alone.

You can continue north from 50,25 up the Orunal Coast all the way to around 53,6; however, you have to deal with the boats coming in from the west. Pattern is repetitive and they'll put you in combat if too close; however, it's simple to learn the patterns. Simply stay north of Shattrath City if you'd prefer - plenty of pools there.

The harbor north of Shattrath City - 34,16 along the docks to 50,25
(starting in Beacon of Sha'Tar on the west side & Sha'tari Anchorage on the east side).

If your level is not high enough to run around mainland Nagrand safely, go to the sandbar west of Talador that Munee mentioned, then continue west along the coast or over the water with a mount or buff of choice. The larger island visible in the South Sea is unnamed and completely devoid of mobs, but has plenty of pools of sea scorpion on its eastern side. You can also continue west over the waters south of Nagrand and find the occasional pool by submerged mushrooms whose caps peek just above the water line. Just be wary once you start seeing hostile mobs again.

In Talador at 22.3, 74.1 (small island directly west of Gulrok no larger on the world map than the size of a tooth, a small tooth).

There is a rare NPC here in a crate that, when killed, provides nothing in the way of loot. It's name is Grrbrrgle. After you have wasted your time killing it for the satisfaction of saying, "I did that," this tiny spit of land is surrounded by node after node of Sea Scorpion School. I counted 9 just in the immediate area around the island. I would have to think that it is the place to be for this fish.

anyone else finding that you catch the Sea Scorpions more often than the Enormous? Even in the pools, level 700 fishing, bad arse fishing pole equipped, a worm attached and Sea Scorpions bait, I am catching more normal than enormous.anyone else finding that you catch the Sea Scorpions more often than the Enormous? I am fishing in the pools, level 700 fishing, bad arse fishing pole equipped, a worm attached and Sea Scorpions bait, I am still catching more normal than enormous - on a 3-2 average.

There's like 20+ schools along the docks in northern Shattrath and no npcs in the way. Even so, u don't really need schools. You'll fish up bait in no time (which is unique, so u can only bag 1 at a time) but u will fish up another bait before the current bait timer runs out anyway.

Comment by Rakelnahe

What I've found strange is you can't fish these up around Darktide Roost... Apparently it's all a really big lake!

Comment by geekygirlish

The best place to fish these, hoping it just wasn't the time of day, is Windroc Bay in Nagrand. There is a convenient fp Nivek's Overlook, right by it, the large crab things don't really bother you, and the pools respawned faster than I could fish them. You don't even have to go very far moving from pool to pool!

Comment by Stompa

You will fish up "small" fish in Draenor while your fishing skill is low, but as you keep fishing and gain skill points you will find larger versions of this fish which require less catches to gut & clean. (One shortcut to catching larger fish is to add a good lure to your pole such as Worm Supreme.)

The different versions of this fish are:

All 3 versions of this fish create Sea Scorpion Segment when used.

Comment by ZiaGaming

As of 6.1, cleaning of fish has gotten a LOT simpler. It now takes 5 fish to clean, no matter what size they are, and they now give a set amount of mats. Current yield is as follows, per 5 fish.

Enormous: Yields 20
Normal: Yields 10
Small: Yields 5

Comment by nicholberry

Several people have suggested along the Sunset Shore in western Talador... which is a reasonable place to fish, but you do have to compete with mobs (I'm level 100 druid) and I find that the spawn rate is significantly reduced to previous reports. I decided to go ahead and just head north from that as my starting point and hit each island as I made my way to Windroc Bay in Southern Nagrand shoreline. I was pleased to find at least one pool at every one of the mushroom like things along the way. Every pool I hit along the way provided, almost exclusively, "Enormous" Sea Scorpions. I was using no special pole, no bait and my fishing level is less than 400.

Comment by CryCrimson

A good spot for pools is in Nagrand, Zangar Shore. The little islands around 35.33, 45.69 have frequent pool spawns grouped pretty well.

Comment by yusuf

It may be obvious to experienced players, but in case anyone else was wondering, the product of gutting and cleaning this is Sea Scorpion Segment.
