Fish offcuts are a form of fishing bait created by using a knife on most types of raw fish. Using a knife on certain high level raw fish will yield fine fish offcuts instead. Like other baits, they can be stored in a tackle box.
When used as bait for Barbarian Fishing, fish offcuts will be prioritised over other types of bait in your inventory (followed by fishing bait, feathers, roe, and caviar in that order).
Offcuts can also be used as a substitute for king worms when feeding the cormorant in aerial fishing. When aerial fishing, there is a 50% chance for a fish chunk to be consumed after every third catch. If it is not consumed on the third, it is guaranteed to be consumed on the fourth, meaning each chunk is consumed every 3.5 catches on average.
Offcuts can be used to bait shimmering, giant krill and haddock shoals while deep sea trawling. Players or crewmates can prepare them at a chum station facility on a boat, and spread them into the sea. They can also be used to bait crab traps.
Creation
Barbarian Fishing
The leaping fish from Barbarian Fishing can be cut with a knife to get fish offcuts. After a player starts cutting these fish, a new fish is cut every 3 ticks automatically. This can be sped up by repeatedly using the knife on a fish. On a successful cut, there is a 1/2 chance to get fish offcuts from leaping trout, 3/4 chance from leaping salmon and 5/6 chance from leaping sturgeon.[1]

Raw fish
Raw fish can be cut with a knife to get fish offcuts, with higher level fish giving fine fish offcuts instead. After a player starts cutting these fish, a new fish is cut every 3 ticks automatically. This cannot be sped up by repeatedly using the knife on a fish.
Additionally, fish offcuts can be prepared using chum stations, which is faster than doing so by hand:
- Chum station - processes 2 fish per tick
- Advanced chum station - processes 3 fish per tick
- Chum spreader - processes 4 fish per tick
