Best capture method

Tranquilizer + drone. Catch stars measure quality, not rarity. Bring the target back alive whenever its rules allow it, and reserve Recovery Drone charges for large compatible fish.

Restaurant use

Marlin Sushi. Enhance this dish only when its ingredient route is repeatable; a stable Fish Farm supply beats a one-night spike.
