Catching Magic Eater
Detailed mapping of hard to find areas is shown below.
Notes: Caught from the Underbelly (sewers) of Dalaran.
Commentary: For anglers that idle in Dalaran waiting for raids or battlegrounds to start, these fish are easy to catch. The buff gained from eating this fish is random, but seems to be more likely to make you "Well Fed" than turn you into another creature. If you experience Wild Magic, you can continue to eat. So, if you have about 10 of these fish, you should be able to get the buff you want. Anglers that cook will find it more effective to catch and cook other fish that give a single, consistent buff.

Sewer Carp and Magic Eater in the Eventide

I was fishing in the eventide to increase my skill, and find some coins, and I happened to find not only a sewer carp, but also a magic eater!
