Merchants Who Sell Wild-Caught Fried Shrimp
Catching Shrimp While Swimming
You can acquire Wild-Caught Fried Shrimp in two ways: purchasing it from beachfront merchants at Alola Beach or catching it yourself while swimming in the same area.

The easiest way to obtain Wild-Caught Fried Shrimp involves swimming to either Grayson's Weapons at Sea or Nolan's Boat - both conveniently located just offshore from Alola Beach, as marked on the map above.
Note that these merchants only appear after you've thoroughly explored each ocean section - they won't be visible if you've only walked along the shoreline.
While you only need one portion of Wild-Caught Fried Shrimp for Kennosuke, each serving costs just $1.60, making multiple purchases affordable.

Since swimming consumes neither health nor currency, fishing at Alola Beach offers a cost-free method for obtaining Wild-Caught Fried Shrimp.
Simply enter the water, approach any fish silhouettes you spot, and use the "Catch" prompt.
However, Wild-Caught Fried Shrimp appear moderately rare - we caught only four after roughly 50 attempts. For efficiency, purchasing from merchants remains the better option.
If short on funds, simply engage in beachfront fights with local thugs. Since shrimp cost merely $1.60, a single confrontation should provide enough cash.
Now that you know how to acquire Wild-Caught Fried Shrimp, discover how to quickly earn money for ship upgrades.
