Raw monkfish are fish that can be caught with a Fishing level of at least 62, granting 120 Fishing experience points per fish. Players can do this by fishing at the Piscatoris Fishing Colony (near fairy ring AKQ) with a small fishing net; the colony may be accessed upon completion of the Swan Song quest.

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 fishing for monkfish 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 versus carrying sharks. The only downsides are that sharks are more valuable, give more Cooking experience (although that does not matter if the raw fish are sold) and heal more when eating the cooked variant.

Raw monkfish can be cooked at level 62 Cooking, and yield 150 experience if they are successfully cooked. Players will stop burning monkfish at level 92 normally on a fire, 90 normally on a range, 88 with cooking gauntlets, 86 with cooking gauntlets on a range, and 82 with the gauntlets at Hosidius Kitchen before the elite diary bonus. Cooking monkfish gives approximately 200,000 experience per hour at level 90 with no/few burns.

Catching and cooking a monkfish is needed for the hard Western Provinces Diary.
