"My nets are all but empty these days. How is a humble fisherman supposed to make a livin'!?" —Angler

For Want of Fish is a side story in Octopath Traveler. It is activated by speaking to the Angler standing on the docks in Clearbrook.

Use the Purchase/Steal Path Action to obtain Saucy Prawns from Magg the Cook, located in the tavern.

The story ends when the Saucy Prawns are given to the Angler.

Using the prawns as bait, the fisherman was once again able to fill his nets with a veritable bounty of plounder.

Alternatively, travel to West Clearbrook Traverse. Use the Challenge/Provoke Path Action to defeat the Fishmonger by the river south of the save point.

The story ends once the Fishmonger is defeated.

The greedy fishmonger gone, the plounder have once again returned to the river.
