To fish, simply head to any body of water that you think might have fish in it, pull out the fishing rod and then play the fishing mini-game.

First off, you’ll need to press X/Square to pull out the rod.  Once you have the fishing pole equipped then you can cast the line with the RT button.  When a fish begins to bite on the line you will press B to reel it in.

It’s fairly easy to tell which bodies of water will have fish in them.  For many you can see the fish swimming around.  You’ll also encounter the Piscine researcher during an expedition who will give you tips on fishing and where to catch certain types of fish.
