The Anglerfish is a type of fish that restores 3-22 Hitpoints depending on your Hitpoints level (see table below). Unlike other foods, anglerfish may also heal above your maximum hitpoints up to the amount restored, with a maximum of 121 hitpoints if the player has a base level of 99 hitpoints. This does not apply if the player is in combat in a PvP area, whether with another player or a non-player character.

It can be obtained by cooking raw anglerfish on a fire or cooking range, requiring level 84 Cooking and granting 230 experience when successful. When cooking, there is a chance to fail, resulting in a burnt anglerfish. The burn rate decreases as the player's Cooking level increases. It will only stop burning entirely if the player is wearing a Cooking cape or using Cooking gauntlets at level 97 (87 if elite Kourend & Kebos Diary is completed while cooking at the city kitchens).

When at level 93 Hitpoints or higher, the Anglerfish is the second highest instant-health single consumption food, behind the marlin, alongside the dark crab, tuna potato, bluefin and manta ray. The anglerfish has the ability to overheal unlike the others, though the dark crab has the lowest weight.

The tuna potato has the lowest Cooking requirement, but highest weight. Cooked moonlight antelope and cooked dashing kebbit heal 26 and 23 health respectively, but part of the healing is delayed, making them not always practical in the same situations.

Healing

If is the Hitpoints level of the player, the amount healed is given by the formula below:
