my fishing and cooking are both at 74 and i have been fishing and cooking monks recently. i do burn a decent amount of them so i was wondering if i should shilo fish salmon and trout to get my cooking up. i would like to have decent training food (monks) but would it be wise to go to shilo? and to what level cooking would i stop burning like 7+ per inventory? also ive herd so many claims on the fishin gauntlets about monks so what is the TRUTH about them and monkfish? thank you for any advice!

I'd reccomend staying with monks, Shilo is better for powerfishing, not cooking. And Salmon/Trout isn't really good training food in members.

Gauntlets do effect monkfish, but only slightly. I'd say train your cooking a bit with lobbies, either buy them or fish them. At 74 you stop burning them without gauntlets, try monks again at 80 and see what they're like.
