For the first time, I have completed the fish collection (all the fish from the base game anyway but not all of the fish from packs - don't think I'll bother with them as you don't need to catch them to officially complete the collection and get the plaque).
I have put one of each kind of fish up on the wall. But now I'm not sure what to do with the extra fish (I mean the duplicates). Should I keep them or sell them? What do you collectors usually do?

@BoergeAarg61 do you keep them for cooking with then?

@MDianaSims oh keeping them for fertilizer is a really good idea! Can they still make good fertiliser if they are foul?

As far as I know freshness doesn't impact fertiliser strength. As long as it's worth 50 simoleons or more it's the best possible fertiliser.

I think with mounted fish you can enable a focused emotional aura, so if you have a room where your Sim does a lot of programming or plays chess, put a couple of the mounted ones in there as Sims with Focused moodlets gain skills like Programming and Logic faster. And you might want to hang on to the Angelfish since I think that (along with Death Flowers) makes Ambrosia if you have a Sim you want to bring back to life.

Sometimes I'll store fish in aquariums for aesthetics or meal purposes if they're still in 'Good' or 'Excellent' freshness states. I don't store them in a refrigerator for meals though because they'll degrade in freshness unlike an aquarium. Very, very rarely do I keep Angelfish to make ambrosia, but that's a good suggestion.
If my Sim has a retail store, they will be mounted after freshly caught and sold there later. Sims using a yard sale table as their sole source of income store them in the yard sale table, it acts like a refrigerator. Customers don't care about the freshness quality of fish on a yard sale table, they'll buy them even if foul. However, customers will complain about the smell so unless I'm selling them very soon, I'll store them in aquariums (if they can afford them) until sold.
Lastly, I don't use fish for fertilizer anymore, it's too much effort when I can just use Roses or any other plants worth around 20-50 simoleans immediately available from those my Sims have grown. If you just want to get rid of extra fish though, it's a good option to use them for fertilizer. Keep in mind though that it's now a one fish to one plant ratio. You can queue up more than one plant with one fish, but only the first plant will actually be fertilized, the others won't.
So, it doesn't make sense to fertilize one lower priced plant with an expensive fish, especially one worth over 50 simoleans which is the maximum fertilizer value. Anything above that just gives the same benefits as a fish (or plant) worth 50 simoleans. It doesn't increase as one might think. At least according to Carl on his website, and I trust him to know since he tested it. I wish we could still fertilize multiple plants with one fish. I would use sturgeon all the time back in the day and one sturgeon could fertilize up to 7 plants if I paused and queued them up beforehand. *sigh*
Anyway, hope this is helpful!
Happy Simming!
@stilljustme2 BTW, thanks so much for the info about mounted fish giving off a focused moodlet, somehow I didn't know that! o.O
