Rocktail



Rocktail are fish found in the Living Rock Caverns. Rocktail require a Fishing level of 90 or higher to fish and give 380 experience per catch. They require a Cooking level of 93 to cook and give 225 experience per fish. Players stop burning rocktail at level 95 while wearing Cooking Gauntlets, and players receive ~283k experience per hour (using the equation from the shark page). Rocktail heal 230 life points and can heal players up to 100 life points higher than their maximum life points. This makes it the best single-bite food in the game. Eating raw rocktail using the Bunyip's Swallow Whole scroll currently does not boost life points above the maximum. The effect does not stack with Saradomin brew. The bait needed to catch rocktail is called living minerals, which can be obtained by killing living rock creatures within the Living Rock Caverns. It is not very hard to fish these in the Living Rock Caverns, as a bank is fairly close and attacks from living rock creatures could be easily evaded.

Trivia

 * Rocktails are very similar to the real-life Angler fish as they have a bio-luminescent esca (fleshy-like stem with a bulb that emits natural light) on their heads.
 * Rocktails' bio-luminescence is very similar to Aquanites.
 * The Shoal fishing spot for rocktail are 4 times bigger than any fishing spot - making Rocktail shoals currently the biggest type of fishing spot.
 * Similar to the prices of raw/cooked sharks, due to the high demand of rocktails used in PVP and dangerous situations, the price of cooked rocktails are sometimes higher than the raw version of rocktail. Therefore players who buy their raw rocktails that wish to train cooking may make some profits by cooking it.
 * An unselected rocktail appears to have a half closed eye, but when selected the eye completely opens.


 * This and the Cavefish are few of the only fish which provide more experience when fished than when cooked.Rocktail_open_eye.png
