Raw mackerel is a fish that can be caught with a big net at any Net/Harpoon fishing spot with level 16 Fishing, granting 20 Fishing experience. It can be cooked into mackerel with level 10 Cooking, and stop burning at level 45 Cooking. The most common spot to fish mackerel is Catherby.

After completing In Aid of the Myreque quest, up to 10 raw mackerel can be purchased from Aurel's Supplies in Burgh de Rott for 26 coins.

Assuming no burning, each raw mackerel cooked would yield a profit/loss of −458 coins.
