Fish scale
Fish scales are a currency in Splatoon 3. They are obtained from damaging the King Salmonid in Salmon Run Next Wave.
Earning
Fish scales can only be obtained from reaching an Xtrawave in Salmon Run Next Wave by damaging the King Salmonid. If the Xtrawave ends in failure each player earns one fish scale for every 10% of Chohozuna's health bar depleted by the team. If Cohozuna is splat players earn at least 10 fish scales, with more earned for having more time remaining in the round. There are three types of fish scales: bronze scales, silver scales, and gold scales, with the rarer varieties more likely to drop after higher hazard levels.[1]
Use
Fish scales can be exchanged for Splashtag banner designs or items like various Boss Salmonid statues and stickers for the locker room. They can also be exchanged for different colored Grizzco Industries-approved alternate work outfits.
By default, only a few select items are available, and spending scales unlocks more items from the Grizzco shop:
- After spending at least 100 bronze and 10 silver scales, more offers are unlocked, especially two more work suits.
- After spending at least 350 bronze, 40 silver, and 4 gold scales, all items are available for purchase.[2]
More rewards may be added in future seasons.

Trivia
- The shop is called 'Uroko' in the files of Splatoon 3, which is the Japanese translation of fish scales.
