Overview of Cooked Fishcake

The Cooked Fishcake is a delightful food item in Old School RuneScape (OSRS) that players can both cook and consume. It is a deliciously crafted dish, packed with flavors and nutrition, making it a favorite among adventurers after a long day of questing or battling monsters.

To create a cooked fishcake, players must first obtain the uncooked version of the item, which requires a bit of fishy expertise. The final product restores health and provides players with a boost in their activity, keeping them on their toes during their adventures.

How to Obtain Cooked Fishcake

To acquire a Cooked Fishcake, players must follow a specific cooking process that includes collecting the necessary ingredients:

Fishcake: Players can obtain this by combining ingredients at a cooking range or fire.
Required Ingredients:

2x Raw fish (any type)
1x Cooking oil
1x Bowl of water

Once you have gathered all the required ingredients, players need a Cooking level of at least 30 to prepare the dish. Cooking the raw fishcake will yield Cooked Fishcake upon successful completion.

Cooking Process

The cooking process for turning a raw fishcake into a cooked version involves several steps:

Gather your ingredients: Ensure you have 2 raw fish, cooking oil, and a bowl of water.
Find a cooking range or a fire where you can cook.
Select the raw fishcake from your inventory.
Click on the cooking option and watch as your character performs the cooking animation.
If successful, you’ll receive a Cooked Fishcake!

It’s essential to note that failing to cook may result in burning the fishcake, so ensure your cooking level is high enough to minimize this risk.
