About The Frozen Sea
- Territory: Contested
- Requires: Wrath of the Lich King
The Frozen Sea
- Open Water Skill: 575 to fish open water without junk (pools can be fished effectively with skill 1).
- Notes: The Frozen Sea surrounds the southern half of the continent of Northrend. Unlike other seas in Azeroth, The Frozen Sea does not contain the same fish and skill requirement as the nearest zone: The Frozen Sea is completely separate. It has therefore been listed like a zone. Most of the sea's waters are too deep to fish - you will rapidly feel fatigued trying! However, you can find icebergs and floating ice to stand on, from which you can fish in The Frozen Sea.
- Commentary: The hardest known waters to fish in Northrend. Many pools are found in the deep water off the south-east coast of Borean Tundra. A few schools can also be found in the deep water off the south-east side of Howling Fjord, and on the southern side of Dragonblight. These waters are deep, but safe: There are no hostile creatures nearby.
- Quests: Monsterbelly Appetite requires a Bloated Monsterbelly to be caught, and the Severed Arm to be extracted and returned to the First Aiders in Dalaran. 1 of 5 possible Northrend Daily Fishing Quests.
- History:
- 3.1: Bloated Monsterbelly caught.
- Wrath of the Lich King: Northrend opened.

Kalu'ak Fishing Derby and Frozen Sea
mdagis, January 2010:
Hello there. Last Saturday I was fishing for the Kalu'ak Fishing Derby at the Frozen sea pools for an hour and I never got the shark. I know that on first sight it might be natural but here they are some strange facts:
1. I never heard the yell from the NPC to start fishing nor the yell that someone won.
2. There were times (3-4) that although I caught something when I clicked on the bumper nothing happened. Similar behavior I have only experienced when I was fishing for daily fishing quests and I had forgotten that I am in raid.
3. The full skill I had was 600 (450 +100 lure +35 pole +15 hat)
Szarsky, January 2010:
I was also fishing in the frozen sea and never heard the annoucment.
I also had the bopper jumping up and down and no catches at all in some pools, left them and moved on, came back after fishing competetion was over, and was able to fish the pool..Renetta, January 2010:
For what it's worth I also fished (mostly) in the region. I didn't get the no catch outcomes though. I didn't catch any shark in 57 minutes. Maybe one indeed needs to fish off the continent? Anybody ever caught a shard in the frozen sea?
Zulbak, January 2010:
It says in El's instructions above that the yell CANNOT be heard in the Frozen Sea
Renetta, January 2010:
That's not the point though, the point is can one catch the shark in Frozen Sea?
el, January 2010:
The shark has been reported caught in the Frozen Sea (both live and in test). I suspect that a lack of announcements means that most anglers are avoiding it.
mdagis, January 2010:
So you think that the "bug" of fishing nothing has nothing to do with it? Anyway I think I will not use Frozen Sea any more for the derby although it has some great spots.
