General
When you see this zombie on the lawn, kill all Octopus-Thrower Zombies, because the Fisherman Zombie will pull your plants into octopus throwing range. Though it does not move, close-range plants like Snapdragon and Bonk Choy are useless, as other zombies will quickly overwhelm them. The best strategy to deal with it is to put a Cherry Bomb on the tile closest to the zombie and at the very first row from the left put Magnifying Grass to deal with the Fisherman Zombie.

Banana Launcher
Banana Launcher is a very good choice Plant Fooded especially, as it can send a banana at any tile on screen, bypassing all other zombies. Planting a row of Banana Launchers in the back-most row, then a row of defensive plants ahead of the row to be pulled forward by the Fisherman is a very effective strategy. That way, if zombie octopi are on top of your defensive plants, you can mass bomb them with a banana.

Tiki Torch-er
Fisherman Zombie is one of the hardest zombies to tackle in an endless zone. That is due to it making an effective team with the Octopus-Thrower Zombie to pull your plants forward, then drop an octopus on them.

Trivia
