Golden haddock is an abnormally coloured haddock caught while rod fishing or trawling at a haddock or shimmering shoal. Upon a successful roll for a catch, players or crewmates have a 1/2,000 chance to obtain one from a haddock shoal, as well as a 1/1,000 chance to roll a rare fish from a shimmering shoal (then a 40/100 chance to roll the golden haddock), which comes out to an effective rate of 1/2,500.

Catching one results in the game message You catch a golden haddock! instead of the usual You catch a haddock!. If a crewmate catches it, the game message will show Jolly Jim catches a golden haddock! for example.

It can be stuffed at the taxidermist in Canifis by using the item on her and paying 5,000 coins, returning a stuffed golden haddock. Once stuffed, it can be mounted at a teak or mahogany display within the skill hall in a player-owned house, granting 70 Construction and 250 Fishing experience.

When obtained while trawling, the collection log entry will be completed, even if the player does not collect the golden haddock from their trawling net.
