The How to Fish Wiki player-capture guide locates the Coconut purchase at the palm tree near the centre of Desert. Look for the purchase interaction rather than an ordinary shop listing.
Reported guidance · Inspect source ↗Equip the Coconut on your Fishing Rod and cast from Desert. The player-capture guide documents the Coconut as single-use, so check your gear before spending it.
Reported guidance · Inspect source ↗After reeling in the creature, use movement and the trees to interrupt direct approaches while fighting at range. Published guides recommend an upgraded SMG, but their evidence does not establish that it is the only viable weapon.

Confirm the creature’s on-screen name. Bing Bong is separate from the 49-target journal checklist.
If it goes wrong
Check the purchase prompt and gear before consuming a Coconut; do not infer identity from appearance alone.
