To recruit Kennosuke the Harpoon Man as a valuable crew member in *Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii*, you must first obtain Wild-Caught Fried Shrimp. Fortunately, there are two straightforward methods to acquire this item, both located at Alola Beach in Honolulu.

As you begin exploring the vibrant world of Honolulu, you may notice that not all methods for obtaining ingredients are immediately clear. This concise guide will walk you through exactly what you need to do and where you need to go to successfully complete this task.

How To Get Wild-Caught Fried Shrimp in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii

You can obtain Wild-Caught Fried Shrimp in one of two ways: either by purchasing it from specific merchants while swimming near Alola Beach or by catching shrimp yourself while exploring the ocean waters. Both options are viable, but each comes with its own set of advantages.

Merchants Who Sell Wild-Caught Fried Shrimp

The map locations of Wild-Caught Fried Shrimp in Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii

Swimming to Grayson’s Weapons at Sea or Nolan’s Boat is the most efficient way to purchase Wild-Caught Fried Shrimp. These floating vendors are only accessible by water and appear after you’ve explored the surrounding ocean areas thoroughly — which is why you might not have noticed them during your earlier visits on foot.

Each location is just a short swim from the beachfront, making them easy to reach once you're in the water. You’ll only need one unit of Wild-Caught Fried Shrimp to satisfy Kennosuke’s request, and at just $1.60 per piece, acquiring one (or more) won’t put a dent in your wallet.

Catching Shrimp While Swimming

If you'd prefer to avoid spending money, you can catch Wild-Caught Fried Shrimp for free by swimming near Alola Beach. The game does not consume health or currency while swimming, so you’re free to explore and fish without penalty.

While in the water, look for fish silhouettes beneath the surface and press the “Catch” prompt when you approach them. Keep in mind, however, that Wild-Caught Fried Shrimp are relatively rare — we caught only four after approximately 50 attempts. For this reason, purchasing one from a merchant is generally faster and more reliable.

If you find yourself short on cash, consider engaging in a quick fight with any gangsters or thugs loitering along the beach. With each shrimp costing only $1.60, a single encounter should provide enough funds to make your purchase.

Now that you know how to get Wild-Caught Fried Shrimp, you can continue progressing in the game by learning how to earn money fast and upgrading your ship for greater adventures ahead.
