Salmon — GE Price Analysis

Some nicely cooked salmon. Salmon is a free-to-play consumable in Old School RuneScape, commonly used for healing during combat and bossing. Browse all Food & Consumables prices for live GE data.

Players consume Salmon at bosses like Vorkath, Zulrah, and the Inferno where high-healing food is essential for survival. Demand spikes during new boss releases and PvM events.

At just 53 gp, Salmon is among the lowest-priced tradeable items — volume is everything at this price point. The buy-sell spread is 2 gp (3.8%), which indicates a tight spread common in actively traded items.

Salmon has a high alchemy value of 18 gp, but at the current buy price it is not profitable to alch.

Salmon currently has a negative margin of -3 gp after tax, meaning instant flips would result in a loss at these prices. Margins fluctuate throughout the day — check back later or set a price alert to be notified when the margin turns positive.

Salmon enjoys healthy volume at 9,487 recent trades, so flippers can count on fills completing within minutes. With a buy limit of 6,000 every 4 hours, you can trade in large quantities per session.

The 3.8% spread on Salmon is narrow, indicating healthy competition among buyers and sellers — expect fast fills but thinner margins. Price has been stable over the last hour (0.0% change), which generally makes for more predictable fills.

At the current prices, Salmon is not profitable to instant flip. If you hold this item, consider selling gradually via limit orders above the instant sell price rather than accepting the current spread loss.

Salmon is used in Cooking training. See the Cooking Calculator to compare profit margins on cooked food, or the High Alch Calculator if you have an excess to convert to GP.
