Mackerel is a type of fish that restores 6 Hitpoints when eaten. It can be obtained by cooking raw mackerel on a fire or cooking range, requiring level 10 Cooking and granting 60 experience when successful. When cooking there is a chance to fail, resulting in a burnt fish. The burn rate decreases as the player's Cooking level increases. Mackerel is one of a number of foods with a reduced burn rate while using the Lumbridge Castle range with Cook's Assistant completed. It will stop burning entirely at Cooking level 45, or 41 when using the Lumbridge range.
