Animals Crossing New Horizons: DIY Summer Crustacean Recipes

The seasons have changed in both hemispheres Animal Crossing: New Horizons and that has brought some changes. In the Northern Hemisphere, the month of June marks summer and players can indulge in a number of activities.


The wedding season has started and players can visit Harvey's Island to help Reese and Cyrus on their wedding anniversary. It lasts until the end of June. In addition, a number of new beetles and fish are available that can be caught in the summer months.


In addition, players can also collect unique seasonal materials known as summer shells to create seasonal DIY recipes. However, there is a caveat. For players from the Northern Hemisphere Islands, summer shells are only available in the summer months, i.e. from June to August (December to February in the Southern Hemisphere).


How do you get summer shells in Animal Crossing New Horizons?


Summer shells are light blue in color and appear randomly all day long on the beaches of your island. You have to walk on their beaches to pick them up. Sometimes, however, these shells can prove to be rare. But there is a solution that could increase your chances of encountering these unique craft materials.



As you walk along the beach, you can try to pick up other common shells that have been washed. It cleans the beach and increases the chance of spawning summer shells. In addition, you can often check out the beaches and select the ones that appear and use them for summer recipes for making 'do it yourself' shellfish. Three months is enough time, and you should be able to collect a sufficient amount anyway.
