The dark crab is a type of food that restores 22 Hitpoints when eaten. It can be obtained by cooking raw dark crab on a fire or cooking range, requiring level 90 Cooking and granting 215 experience when successful. When cooking there is a chance to fail, resulting in a burnt dark crab. 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. The chance to burn is decreased by using the city kitchens when the easy or elite Kourend & Kebos Diary has been completed (5 and 10% respectively).

The dark crab is the second highest instant-health single consumption food, behind the marlin, alongside the tuna potato, anglerfish, bluefin and manta ray. The dark crab has the lowest weight, while the tuna potato has the lowest Cooking requirement, but highest weight. The anglerfish will only heal 22 if Hitpoints are level 93 or higher, but has the added benefit of being able to heal the player above their base Hitpoints. Cooked moonlight antelope and cooked dashing kebbit heals 26 and 23 health respectively, but part of the healing is delayed, making them not always practical in the same situations.

Catching and cooking a dark crab in the Wilderness Resource Area is a requirement for the Elite Wilderness Diary.
