Clawfish takes place at an isolated train station beside a small fishing arcade and waterfront. You can wander around the station and dock at your own pace.
The main activity is using three claw machines, each with its own gameplay quirk, to catch fish. You can also find fish in buckets around the area.
Collect up to 23 kinds of fish and release them into the surrounding waters, gradually filling the area with your catches. Along the way, you can talk to a seagull and paddle a boat.
Players who enjoy Clawfish often praise its calm, colorful seaside setting, gentle music, and unusual idea of catching fish with claw machines. Many describe it as a pleasant, compact experience, with collecting and releasing the fish adding to its appeal. Some players, however, found the claw controls slow or frustrating, and reviews also report bugs and the lack of progress saving.
