Monkfish are a type of fish that can be obtained by cooking a raw monkfish on a fire or cooking range, requiring level 62 Cooking and granting 150 experience when successful. Players may burn a monkfish while cooking one, resulting in a burnt monkfish. The burn rate while cooking these will decrease as players reach higher Cooking levels, and at level 90 on a range or 92 on a fire, Monkfish will stop burning entirely.

Monkfish can be fished in the Piscatoris Fishing Colony (code AKQ) with a small fishing net by players who have a Fishing level of 62 or higher, and have completed the Swan Song quest. They heal 16 Hitpoints, the same as egg potatoes and potato with cheese. It is possible to cook them without having started the quest.

Catching and cooking a monkfish is needed for the hard Western Provinces Diary.
