Raw sea turtle can be fished by members who have at least level 79 Fishing and can be cooked by members with at least level 82 Cooking. Cooked sea turtles heal between 220 and 2050 Life points depending on Constitution level. They can be received as a potential reward during the Fishing Trawler minigame, giving 38 Fishing experience per catch. Players can also catch sea turtles at the Deep Sea Fishing hub by attracting them to a magical fishing spot with sea turtle bait, granting 240 Fishing experience, or through swarm fishing. Each piece of bait allows the player to catch up to 50 sea turtles before another piece of bait must be used to attract them back. 211.3 Cooking experience is granted for successfully cooking a sea turtle.

Fossegrimen will accept a raw sea turtle to enchant a Lyre with 40 charges, or 60 charges while wearing Fremennik sea boots. Interestingly, it is ten teleport charges more than enchanting with a Manta ray.

With level 99 Cooking and Cooking gauntlets, players still burn roughly one out of every four sea turtles. However, with level 99 Cooking using the Cooking cape perk, players can avoid burning them altogether.

Trivia

• Raw sea turtles and their cooked and burnt counterparts were given a graphical update on 5 March 2018. The same update also allowed them to be caught through Deep Sea Fishing, thus making them obtainable in Ironman Mode.
• Using a raw sea turtle on a fishing spot to complete the achievement Catch and Release causes players to receive the message: A turtle has made it to the water! Kind of. This is a reference to World of Warcraft.
