Raw monkfish



Raw monkfish are members-only fish that can be caught with at least level 62 Fishing, gaining 120 Fishing experience points per fish. They can do this with a small fishing net; but the only suitable fishing spot is at the Piscatoris Fishing Colony, which requires players to have completed Swan Song.

Monkfish give 10 more fishing experience per catch than sharks, are caught much faster, and can be fished at a lower Fishing level than Raw sharks. This makes monks a very efficient way of levelling up. In addition, cooked Monkfish are lighter, so players engaging in a lot of running can run longer carrying monkfish than they can carrying sharks.

Members can cook the raw monkfish if they have at least level 62 Cooking, and gain 150 experience if they are successful in doing so. You receive ~200 k xp/hour by cooking monkfish.

Trivia

 * The name of the fishing colony is related to the word piscatorius which simply means to fish, this also relates to the scientific name for one of the most common monkfish, Lophius piscatorius. lol
