Lobster is a type of fish that restores 12 Hitpoints when eaten. It can be obtained by cooking raw lobster on a fire or cooking range, requiring level 40 Cooking and granting 120 experience when successful. When cooking there is a chance to fail, resulting in a burnt lobster. The burn rate decreases as the player's Cooking level increases, and it will stop burning entirely at Cooking level 74.

When eaten, the message You eat the lobster. is displayed.
