This fish is part of the first secret fish achievement, Secret Fish of Mechagon.

The fish:
All of the fish for part 1 of this series can be caught within Mechagon. The catch rates are quite low (~1%) so expect to spend a fair amount of time fishing. You do not need max Kul'tiran/Zanadalari fishing. Once caught you'll auto-accept a quest to show the fish to Danielle Anglers, who is also on the island. Should the quest fail to auto-accept for any reason you can simply right click the fish from your inventory to start it.

Note: Below are confirmed locations and are likely not the only locations where they can be caught.

The coastal fish:
These 3 fish can be caught near Danielle, though its likely they can be caught anywhere along the coast of the island.

1. Energized Lightning Cod
2. Solarsprocket Barbel
3. Bolted Steelhead

The area specific fish:
Each of these fish can only be caught within a specific area of the island.
I've created a map to show their locations: https://i.imgur.com/Hr3Q1ij.png

Alternatively here are the X,Y coordinates for each.
4. Tasty Steelfin - 47, 37
5. Bottom Feeding Stinkfish - 79, 49
6. Pond Hopping Springfish - 65, 32
7. Shadowy Cave Eel - 59, 24
8. Sludge-fouled Carp - 65, 51
9. Spitting Clownfish - 83, 72
10. Mechanical Blowfish - 25, 77

The goggles:
Once you've caught all 10 and shown them to Danielle she'll sell you the Secret Fish Goggles.
You can now move on to part 2 of this series, Secret Fish and Where to Find Them!

I have also written a guide for part 2 which can be found here in the comments section of the achievement page.

Happy fishing! :)

To check if you have turned in this quest today paste the below macro in-game:

/run print(IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(55309))

Comment by culicidae

Single macro to check for all fish daily completions:
/run local t={"Bttm",55299,"Steel",55305,"PndHop",55306,"Cave",55307,"Blow",55308,"Clown",55309,"Carp",55310,"Cod",55311,"Barnel",55312,"Tasty",55313}for i=1,#t-1,2 do print(t,IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(t)and "\124cff00ff00C" or "\124cffff0000NC")end
or two macros that output the full names of the fish
/run local t={"BottomFeedingStinkfish",55299,"BoltedSteelhead",55305,"PondHoppingSpringfish",55306,"ShadowyCaveEel",55307,"MechanicalBlowfish",55308}for i=1,#t-1,2 do print(t,IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(t)and "\124cff00ff00C" or "\124cffff0000NC")end
and
/run local t={"SpittingClownfish",55309,"SludgeFouledCarp",55310,"EnergizedLightningCod",55311,"SolarsprocketBarbel",55312,"TastySteelfin",55313}for i=1,#t-1,2 do print(t,IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(t)and "\124cff00ff00C" or "\124cffff0000NC")end

A point that may or may not turn out to be relevant in the long haul (will test it on other toons as well). Was fishing from a raft at roughly 83, 73 and after 88 casts had nothing. Moved to shore and within 4 casts had the fish. It then struck me that the majority of the fish for the achievement are in areas where you are under threat from wandering mobs, and on a raft this isn't the case. Perhaps you have to be fishing from the shore for the game to register you as 'in the right area' so to speak.
Just a theory for now but if anyone has had a similar experience it might save people time in the future.
