Raw cave eel is a fish that require level 38 Fishing to catch as well as a Cooking level of 38 to cook; doing so turns it into a cave eel. They are used in several quests that require the gathering of objects and can also be used in the Creature Creation minigame to make a frogeel.

They can be caught with a fishing rod and bait. Raw cave eels are less likely to be caught from a fishing spot, as slimy eels have a higher drop rate and are caught at the same locations.

Cave eels or slimy eels are the primary ingredients in the popular Dorgeshuun dish eel sushi. The eel is presumably served raw and wrapped in swamp weed. However, players cannot make the dish, and it can only be bought from the Dorgeshuun market.
