Food
Food heals your Hitpoints when you eat it. The common foods (shark, dark crab, manta ray and tuna potato) are free: you can spawn them, take them from the Food and Potions shop at ::shops, or type ::food to fill your inventory with dark crabs. The best foods, marlin, anglerfish, halibut and cooked karambwan, cost a few PK points. Every food on this page can be traded.

Cooked karambwan
PKP = PK points; prices are for one piece of food. The Cooking column is the level you need to cook the food; foods marked – are not made with Cooking.
Eating food
- After you eat, you must wait 3 game ticks (1.8 seconds) before you can eat normal food again, and your next attack is delayed by 2 ticks.
- Normal food only heals you up to your maximum Hitpoints. Anglerfish is the exception (see below).
- Drinking a potion also stops you from eating normal food for 3 ticks, so eat before you drink.
- Combo food: cooked karambwan and halibut can be eaten straight after normal food or a potion, in the same tick. This lets you eat a normal food, drink a potion and eat a combo food all at once. A combo food eaten in the same tick as other food does not delay your attack any further.
Anglerfish
An anglerfish heals 10% of your base Hitpoints level (rounded down) plus a bonus that depends on that level: +2 at 1–24 Hitpoints, +4 at 25–49, +6 at 50–74, +8 at 75–92 and +13 at 93–99. It can raise your Hitpoints above your max by the same amount, so at 99 Hitpoints it heals 22 and can take you up to 121, even on top of a Saradomin brew.
