About this converter
Food in OSRS restores a fixed hitpoint amount per bite. Shrimp gives 3. Shark gives 20. Top fish give 22. This page lines up 15 common fish from low to high. Values come from OSRS Wiki pages sourced to the game cache and Jagex manuals. It covers catch level, cook level and heal amount. Use it to pick food for Slayer, bossing or PK trips.
How to use it
Pick two entries and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try lobster at 12 and shark at 20 to see the jump. Try monkfish at 16 and karambwan at 18 for combo math. The math is amount times factor, with hitpoints as base.
Anglerfish scales with HP level. It gives 3 at low HP and 22 at 93 to 99 HP. Only anglerfish can push above max HP here. Karambwan can combo with other food in one tick. That is why 18 can beat 20 in real fights. Dark crab, manta and anglerfish all max at 22 but differ in weight and cost. We leave out anchovies 1, herring 5, pike 8, and brews. Those are low tier or potions, not standard fish.
FAQ
What heals most per slot?
Dark crab, manta ray, and max anglerfish all heal 22. Marlin heals more but is rare. Among common fish, 22 is top here.
Why use karambwan at 18 over shark at 20?
Karambwan can combo eat with another food in the same tick. That burst can top a shark in PvP and boss fights.
How does anglerfish scaling work?
OSRS Wiki table shows 3 to 22 by HP level. You get 22 only at 93 to 99 HP, with overheal above max outside PvP risk zones.
What is best cheap food?
Monkfish at 16 is best budget member food. Lobster at 12 is best cheap free to play food by price per HP.
