What to do with seashells
One of my first experiences in the Animal Crossing franchise was frantically collecting all the seashells I saw on the beach only to end up with a full inventory and no idea what to do with it. Thousands are surely having the same experience right now with New Horizons. Seashells are some of the first items you will come across, and they are clearly important in one way or another, because there are so many of them and they look so interesting and unique. You can display them in your home as decorations, but what else do you do with them?
Sell them! Unlike a lot of other things in this game, shells don't have much use beyond their value. Catching them from the beach is a great way to make bells early in the game when you don't have all the tools you need to get the most valuable items. So running along the coast, picking up all the shells you see and then rushing over to Timmy Nook to sell some extra cash is a great way to start. It's similar, but a little different from what you should do with fish.
What to do with fish
Fish are a big part of Animal Crossing: New Horizons. They are like shells in that they are a great way to make bells quickly, so feel free to sell them often. However, there is one great thing you can do with fish - donate them to the museum. If you haven't already, find out how to unlock the museum here. Once you have it (and before that if you give Tom Nook fish), you can donate new species of fish to the museum for display. It's a great way to bring these guys together and progress to Nook Miles.
And that's what to do with seashells and fish in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
