Sharks can be fished by members who have level 76 Fishing or higher. They require level 80 Cooking to cook and heal 20 hitpoints each. Sharks are fished with harpoons, but can also be fished bare-handedly which requires a Fishing level of 96, a Strength level of 76, and some completion of Barbarian Training. Raw sharks can be caught at any net/harpoon fishing spots; some locations are the Fishing Guild, Catherby, Burgh de Rott, Rellekka, Jatizso, and north-west of the Elf Camp. Sharks can also be caught by granite lobsters, a level 74 Summoning familiar. Sharks give 110 fishing experience per catch and 210 cooking experience when cooked. Usually, players never stop burning sharks, even while wearing a skillcape; though, at level 94 cooking, they will not burn sharks if they wear Cooking gauntlets. The recent rise in price could be due to the update on 11/06/2009 which again reduced the number of macroers, resulting in fewer sharks becoming caught.
Raw sharks can be offered to the Fremennik spirit Fossegrimen, who will then bless a lyre with two charges to teleport to Rellekka (although it is cheaper to use a bass while wearing the Ring of charos (a)).
Raw sharks are the tertiary ingredient to make a Bunyip pouch using the Summoning skill. To make a Bunyip a player will need 1 green charm, a raw shark, 110 spirit shards and level 68 Summoning.
Players may occasionally get a big shark while fishing. These can be hung up in a Skill Hall in player-owned houses.

[edit] Cap'n Arnav
Sharks are also visible swimming around Cap'n Arnav's island (locked chest random). All 4 of the sharks have different examine texts: "Selachimorpha.", "Sleek, sinister, silent and shark-shaped.", "Ooh, look, a floating fin." and "Like a dolphin, but considerably less cute." Selachimorpha means the superorder sharks belong to.
