How to Train Fishing and Cooking Together on RuneScape

Last Updated: September 3, 2020

Okay, so you have the Cooking Skill to train. And you also have the Fishing Skill to train. So how do you train them both effectively? You train them together, of course! You catch the fish yourself and then cook them yourself - so you get experience for both skills. Plus, you also save money this way!

Note: these methods are available for both F2P and P2P.

Method 1

Method 1 of 8:

Fishing Level 1-15

1
Obtain a net. You can buy this at any of the fishing stores, at the Grand Exchange or trade other players for it. Fish for shrimps, anchovies or sardines with your net. There are good fishing spots for this just south of the bank in Al-Kharid, west of the bank in Draynor and behind the church in Lumbridge.
2
Bank all the fish every time your inventory is full.

Method 2

Method 2 of 8:

Cooking Level 1-15

1
Cook all the fish you just caught. Either go to the cooking range inside Lumbridge castle, or get some logs and a tinderbox and make a fire yourself.
2
Go and catch more fish and cook that as well, until both your Fishing and Cooking is level 15.

Method 3

Method 3 of 8:

Fishing Level 15-30

1
Obtain a fly-fishing rod and feathers for bait. Go to the river east of the Barbarian Village. Fish there for salmon, trout or pike.
2
Bank the fish when your inventory is full. The Edgeville bank is closest.
3
Repeat until you have level 30 Fishing.

Method 4

Method 4 of 8:

Cooking Level 15-30

1
Cook all the fish you caught.

Continue with this until your Cooking is level 30. You may have to go out and fish more, to reach the desired Cooking level.

Method 5

Once you get level 40 fishing, use the lobster pot to fish for lobsters.
- When your inventory is full run to the side of the volcano, where a man, Stiles, is sitting. He will exchange your fish for banknotes, so you needed run to a bank all the time.
