- "That's a reekfish ( _ inches)! This sacred fish is only found near the Zora village. It... reeks."
- — in-game decription
Reekfish are a type of fish from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Large and red, they reside in the waters of Zora's Domain. They have a horrible odor, and feed on coral. Yeto the Yeti constantly raids Zora's Domain to retrieve Reekfish, possibly having knowledge of their coral diet. To find Yeto, Link must record the scent of the fish by catching one near the Mother-and-Child Rocks in Zora's Domain using the Coral Earring given to him by Prince Ralis. Reekfish are apparently very sacred to the Zora, and are very large in size, second only to the Hylian Loach.
Reekfish are used by Yeto to make his special soup. It should be noted, however, that the ones used are about the size of a full grown Hylian unlike the ones typically caught by Link.
Origin 
Edit
The Reekfish is based on an actual species of fish called the sockeye salmon.
Etymology Edit
Reekfish is a portmanteau of "reek", which is a repulsive smell, and "fish".
