How to Get Wild-Caught Fried Shrimp in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii

Swim out to Grayson’s Weapons at Sea or Nolan’s Boat to buy Wild-Caught Fried Shrimp in *Pirate Yakuza*. These merchants are conveniently located a short distance from the beachfront, as shown on the map above. Keep in mind that you'll need to swim through each section of the nearby ocean to unlock these vendors, which you might miss if you stick to the shoreline.
You only need one unit of Wild-Caught Fried Shrimp to recruit Kennosuke, and at the low cost of $1.60 per unit, you can afford to buy more without breaking the bank.
Catching Shrimp While Swimming
If you prefer a cost-free approach, you can catch Wild-Caught Fried Shrimp while swimming near Alola Beach. Simply swim towards any fish silhouettes you spot and press the "Catch" button when prompted. Note that these shrimp are somewhat rare; we caught only four after about 50 attempts. If catching them proves too time-consuming, buying from a merchant is the more efficient option.
If you're short on cash, you can easily earn enough by engaging in a quick fight with some beachside thugs or gangsters. With shrimp priced at just $1.60, a single encounter should suffice.
Now that you're equipped with the knowledge of how to obtain Wild-Caught Fried Shrimp, you can focus on other aspects of the game, such as upgrading your ship or enjoying the best mini-games *Pirate Yakuza* has to offer.
*Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii* is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
