I sold 1k cooked monkfish just the other night in a crowded world at Varrock west for 400 each. Wish I could get 500 each, but the market won't bear it. I love the fishing and cooking xp these give and since they heal 16, great training food and a decent alternative to shark for those that can't afford.

 

 

 

 

 

As far as it taking a long time to get there, maybe try - dueling ring to al karid glider, glider to grand tree and walk over.....not too bad really!

yea monkfish are so hard to sell, I had trouble selling 4k for 270 each even.

 

 

 

But if you want them for yourself training and cooking xp they are the way to go. Great xp, great healing, and faster to catch.

 

 

 

My opinion- better than lobs

Yeah, monk fish are pretty awesome. For those of you who are ahving trouble selling, I buy raw monkfish for 325gp each. /end plug

 

 

 

Thats the main reason no one is fishing monks - 325gp ea!!! With 75 fish I can get ~200 cooked monks per hour or ~250 raw. 250*325=81k - waste of time. Got my 5k cooked monks on the weekend when monks were released and those will last me 1/2 year. So don't expect this place to be crowded.

it is a food for people that want to be self sufficient, then its very good.

 

 

 

for money making, try lobsters and sharks, better market there.

 

 

 

I personally prefer Monkfish, because i dont need sharks for things i am currently doing. If i do, i still have about 100 tuna potato's left.

I would gues it's because most people are unable to get there, unwilling to buy the fish because they are unaware of them or prefer to stick to Lobsters and Sharks. There's a lot of resistance to new foods in RS. We have Potatos that heal extremely well but they are a lot of work and so people avoid them like the plague. I'm guessing most people are not willing to try something new.

 

 

 

I myself cannot fish monkfish YET and so I stick to lobsters because they sell easily, the cooking guantlets allow me to not burn a single one (unlike the monkfish which is not affected by the guantlets) and that's really it. If I could fish monkfish, I probably would and use it for training and the like. But until then, the lobsters in the fishing guild be warned.
