Monkfish is a type of fish that restores 16 Hitpoints when eaten.

It can be obtained by cooking raw monkfish on a fire or cooking range, requiring level 62 Cooking and granting 150 experience when successful. When cooking there is a chance to fail, resulting in a burnt monkfish. The burn rate decreases as the player's Cooking level increases, and it will stop burning entirely at Cooking level 90 on ranges and level 92 on fires.

When eaten, the message You eat the monkfish. It heals some health. is displayed.

While the Swan Song quest must be completed to fish raw monkfish, there is no such requirement for cooking them.

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