Raw sardines are fish that require a Fishing level of 5 to catch by using a normal fishing rod on a bait fishing spot, by the sea. Fishing bait is required in the inventory, one being used for each catch, which yields 20 Fishing experience. Raw sardines may be cooked at level 1 Cooking to produce cooked sardines.

In the quest Gertrude's Cat, players have to rub a sardine with doogle leaves to feed Gertrude's lost cat. This creates a seasoned sardine.

Sardines may be bought from Gerrant's Fishy Business as well as Lovecraft's Tackle for 10 coins each. They are also available at Warrens Fish Monger in the The Warrens for 13 coins each, with a quickly replenishing stock of 200; this can be a convenient source for early cooking levels, as there are fires and a cooking range within 12 and 17 tiles (respectively). They are also available from the Fish monger in Rellekka, which is a good option if you are needing to bank them for activities such as the Tower of Life's Spidine, as you can deposit items directly to your bank by using Peer the Seer (With Fremennik Easy Diary), who is located close by to the south-west. In addition, using a fish barrel can speed up acquiring them.
