Inspect Pirate Pete in the Lumbridge Castle dining room to start the quest. Talk to the Cook in the next room. He will tell you to get ground cod, breadcrumbs, ground giant crab meat, and ground kelp. He will tell you that Murphy in Port Khazard will help you get the crab meat and kelp. Make sure to ask him each available question pertaining to the ingredients, or you may not be able to make them. If you are at the end of the quest, and you cannot make the fishcake, simply inspect Pirate Pete in the dining room, and then talk to the cook again.

• Ground cod - Use your pestle and mortar on your raw cod.
• Breadcrumbs - Use your knife on your bread.

Note: It's recommended that you get extra kelp and crab meat, especially if you have a low Cooking level, as if you burn the fishcake, you will have to go back to do it all over again. Luckily, you don't need any more bronze wire and hides, so just get extra cod, bread, kelp, and the meat.

Go to Murphy, who can be found at Port Khazard (Minigame Teleport to the Fishing Trawler), to get your fishbowl made into a diving apparatus. Put it on, then ask to go diving. Your weight must be under 28 kilograms. Have multiple empty inventory spots, as you will not be able to drop items underwater if you need to pick up new items. The nearby Bank chest may be useful. You may not bring a Cat with you, on the ground or in your inventory, and attempting to will prompt some amusing dialogue from Murphy.

	A Diving Sail
The jingle that plays upon diving underwater.

Once you're underwater, find a tall plant, and pick it for the kelp. Get some extras in case you burn the fishcake. Then, look for a crab pen to the north. Talk to Nung. He will tell you to get him five mudskipper hides.

Note: If using rings of recoil for the following mudskipper and crab kills, at least one damage must be dealt by the player to receive the hides.

Head to the entrance to the mudskippers' cave, on the western wall of the underwater area. Pick up five rocks near the entrance to the cave and then enter the cave. While in the cave (and the crab pen thereafter), you will be able to wield weapons as normal as you will be standing upright. Kill five mudskippers (level 30 and 31) to get hides. You can do this in multiple trips if inventory space is tight as Nung will accept any hides you currently carry. (Remember to give them to Nung before surfacing, as they will disappear!) Take them back to Nung. Give him your needle and three bronze wire; he will let you into the crab pen after this.

In the pen, kill a crab and collect its meat. Grind the crabmeat and kelp with a pestle and mortar. Get some extras in case you burn the fishcake.

Return to and speak with the Cook. Use the ingredients on each other, and cook it to get a fishcake. Right-click and use it on (don't eat it!) Pirate Pete in the dining room for your reward.
