Catching Mitten Crab in Animal Crossing New Horizons

Only available in September, October, and November in the Northern Hemisphere, the Mitten Crab has made its way into Animal Crossing New Horizons.

Luckily, this crab can be easily found in your game by heading over to a river on your island and looking for a tiny shadow between the hours of 4 pm and 9 am.

To catch it, just pull out your trust fishing rod, press the A button, and then press the same button once the crab is on the hook. If you do it correctly, you’ll have yourself a brand-new critter to add to your Critterpedia.

Make sure to use fish bait if you’re having trouble finding it in the water.
