Burnt fish (anchovies)

Burnt fish is the result of accidentally burning raw anchovies while attempting to make anchovies. Cooking anchovies requires 1 Cooking, and burning it will become less common with a higher Cooking level. They stop being burned at 34 Cooking.

The burnt fish has no use whatsoever, although you can unsuccessfully attempt to eat it. Like most other burnt food, it is tradeable to other players but not on the Grand Exchange.

A hidden update on 4 March 2013 made all burnt fish stackable.

During RuneScape Classic, burning raw shrimp would also result in this type of burnt fish. Burning raw shrimp now gives a separate item, burnt shrimp. The only distinguishing factor between any of the different burnt fish is its shape.
