Anchovies are an edible food item available to everyone. Eating anchovies heals 200 life points.

Any player may cook on a range or fire to gain 30 Cooking experience points (33 on a bonfire), as level 1 Cooking is the only requirement.

Anchovies have two other uses.

1. They are an ingredient for the popular anchovy pizzas, which players can make at level 55 Cooking and heal 1,374 life points each, making them the second highest-healing food available to free-to-play players.
2. Anchovy oil, obtained by mashing anchovies with a pestle and mortar and straining the resulting anchovy paste with a sieve, is an ingredient in imp repellent, which in turn can be distilled to make impling jars from butterfly jars. Doing this awards the player with 1 Herblore experience.

Raw anchovies can be caught using a small net at any net fishing spot.

Assuming no burning, each raw anchovy cooked would yield a loss of 608 coins.
