Rocktail is a type of fish that can only be found in the Living Rock Caverns. The Living Rock Caverns are located underneath the Dwarven Mine, which is located under Falador and extends to Ice Mountain. Players need 90 Fishing to catch rocktails and a Cooking level of 93 to cook them. Rocktail are an ingredient in rocktail soup.
They stop burning at level 94 only if wearing cooking gauntlets. They give 225 Cooking experience per fish which adds to 378,000 experience per hour, or, with decorated cooking urns, 474,000 experience per hour. A series of tests conducted with cooking gauntlets equipped yielded a burn rate of 27 rocktails out of 3,969, or 0.68%, at the minimum level required to cook them (93). Without cooking gauntlets, rocktails burn in high amounts even with a maxed cooking stat boosted to 103 using a Chef's delight.
