The Rocktail is a fish that is found in the Living Rock Caverns. Rocktails require a Fishing level of 90 or higher to fish and give 380 experience per catch, which is the most experience obtainable from a single catch of any fish in Runescape. The player needs a normal fishing rod and Living minerals as bait to catch Rocktails. The Living minerals can be obtained from a living rock protectors/strikers dead remains. 73 mining is needed to mine the dead body. The Living Rock Caverns, however, are quite dangerous. Players could be attacked by level 120+ monsters.
Rocktails require a Cooking level of 93 to cook and give 225 experience per fish. Players stop burning Rocktail at level 99 while wearing cooking gauntlets. Rocktail heal 23 hitpoints and can heal a player up to 10 Hitpoints higher than the maximum HP. This makes it the best single-bite food in the game. Eating Raw rocktail using the Bunyip swallow whole scroll does not currently boost hitpoints above the maximum. The effect does not stack with Saradomin brew.

[edit] Trivia
- Rocktail are very similar to the real-life Angler fish as they have a bio-luminescence esca (fleshy-like stem with a bulb that emits natural light) on their heads.
- There was a bug where a player would not burn Rocktails, even at 93 cooking, if wearing cooking gauntlets when this fish was released.
