A rainbow fish is a food item that heals 875 life points in one bite. Players can make it by cooking a raw rainbow fish on a range or a fire. Doing so requires level 35 Cooking and grants 121 Cooking experience if successful.

The minimum Constitution level to receive the full amount of healing from this food is 35.

The rainbow fish is nowhere near as popular as other fish, such as the lobster, which heals 1200 life points and is usually cheaper. The fish is easier to obtain if you are not considering the option of buying food, as this can be fished at the fishing spots near the Barbarian Village, at a lower Fishing level, and faster. This is also close to the Grand Exchange and Varrock. You are required to use stripy feathers to catch them.

Rainbow fish can also be looted from Gourmet implings.

Update history

The update history project is a work-in-progress – not all updates to this topic may be covered below. See here for how to help out!

• patch 7 November 2011 (Update):
  • Rainbow fish can no longer be caught on a free world.

Trivia

• Despite being called rainbow fish, they only have four colours (yellow, light blue/turquoise, dark blue, and grey).
• Free players used to be able to catch these fish until an update on 7 November 2011.
