In the town of Barnacle Bay, a creature lurks. He's come from the ocean, in search of others like him. He is a fishboy named Sashimi!

To fit in with humans, Sashimi sneaks into an elementary school and pretends to be a student. But he's clearly a fish out of water!

When Sashimi finds out the whole town is on the hunt for the Beast of Barnacle Bayโ€”a creature who sounds a lot like Sashimiโ€”hijinks ensue! Fortunately, with the help of a new friend and the class goldfish, Sashimi figures out a way to stay afloat.

Perfect for fans of Dogman and The Investigator series!
