A purplefin is an abnormally coloured bluefin caught while rod fishing or trawling at a bluefin, glistening, or vibrant shoal. Upon a successful roll for a catch, players or crewmates have a 1/6,000 chance to obtain one from a bluefin shoal, an effective 1/20,000 chance from a glistening shoal, and an effective 1/6,000 chance from a vibrant shoal.

Catching one results in the game message You catch a purplefin! instead of the usual You catch a bluefin!. If a crewmate catches it, the game message will show Jolly Jim catches a purplefin! for example.

It can be stuffed at the taxidermist in Canifis by using the item on her and paying 6,000 coins, returning a stuffed purplefin. Once stuffed, it can be mounted at a mahogany display within the skill hall in a player-owned house, granting 77 Construction and 357 Fishing experience.

When obtained while trawling, the collection log entry will be completed, even if the player does not collect the purplefin from their trawling net.
