The Sailing update brings a whole ocean of new foods to cook, trade, and use in combat. From squid to marlin, every catch now has a special use beyond simple healing.
All New Fish Types
Fishing and Cooking have both expanded under Sailing, introducing new species tied to lantern fishing and deep sea trawling. These new catches heal more than classic fish and often provide extra buffs when cooked.
| Fish | Cooking Level | Heal | Special Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Swordtip Squid | 56 | 17 | None |
| Jumbo Squid | 71 | 18 | None |
| Giant Krill | 69 | 17 | None |
| Haddock | 73 | 18 | Overheals up to 10 HP |
| Yellowfin | 79 | 19 | Restores 20% energy |
| Halibut | 83 | 20 | Acts as combo food |
| Bluefin | 87 | 22 | Restores 5 Prayer points |
| Marlin | 93 | 24 | Highest heal in one bite |
Unique Buff Ingredients
Every new fish can be cooked, but some are better broken down for other skills. The parts are used in new Herblore recipes, letting you turn your catch into powerful potions.
| Fish Part | Source | Used For |
|---|---|---|
| Squid Paste | Swordtip or Jumbo Squid | Haemostatic Dressing potion |
| Haddock Eye | Haddock | Super Fishing potion |
| Yellow Fin | Yellowfin | Extreme Energy potion |
| Marlin Scales | Marlin | Extended Stamina potion |
Crab Dishes and Herblore Links
New crab species can also be caught and cooked. Each one provides decent healing and can be ground into pastes for potion-making.
Red crab paste is used in early Herblore mixes
Blue crab paste boosts high-tier healing potions
Rainbow crab paste combines with Umbral coral to craft Armadyl brews
These crab-based ingredients make Sailing’s food system directly tie into other skills, rewarding players who mix fishing, hunting, and potion crafting.
Cooking and Training Tips
Always cook near on-board cooking pots for quick XP gain
Store raw fish on your ship to prevent spoilage during long voyages
Focus on higher-tier fish for combo food setups
Break down extras for potion parts once your Cooking XP is capped
Final Blurb
The new Sailing foods are more than just recovery items, as they give energy, Prayer, and combo advantages that make sea combat smoother and more rewarding. Burbs cannot be eaten. With lantern fishing and trawling offering big XP gains, your ship’s kitchen is now one of the best skilling hubs on the ocean.
