How to Catch Lobster & Squid
Unlock Quest
You will be asked by The Fisherman to catch rare fish that are difficult to catch when you unlock Beast Below the Waves quest.
Just Keep Fishing
You will likely reel in common fish most of the time before you finally obtain a Squid or Lobster. What you get is based on luck, so basically you'll need to keep at it until you get what you're looking for.
Fishing GuideUnlock the Ritual of the Ocean's Bounty
You can also unlock the Ritual of the Ocean's Bounty in the Doctrines to double the amount of fish you catch for a limited time.
The more fish you can catch, the more chances you get to obtain these rare fish types which will help you complete the Beasts Below the Waves quest.
How to Unlock Doctrines
You will need a Commandment Stone to declare a new Doctrine for your cult. Ritual of the Ocean's Bounty is under Sustenance III. Although this will give you a better chance to finish the quest, this Ritual isn't really something you need to prioritize so we don't recommend unlocking this Doctrine just for this quest.

Complete Talisman

The Talisman you can get from The Fisherman can be exchanged for a new fleece to customize your Lamb character. They also give you additional effects. You can check and get them in the 'Crown" section at the Temple in your Cult.
Cook Them for Food
Aside from using them to complete this quest, you can use them to cook meals once you unlock their recipes for your Cult Followers to eat.
Trade For Money
If you need some extra Gold, you can also sell them for some coins.
