If you’re looking for a delicious seafood dish to enjoy in-game, then you should definitely check out the best places to catch shrimps and anchovies in Old School RuneScape. This is because these seafood items are some of the most popular and affordable options on the game’s market. Here are five of the best places to catch shrimps and anchovies in Old School RuneScape:

  1. The Shrimp Shop – This business is located just outside of Lumbridge. It’s a great place to buy shrimps and anchovies from their wide selection of products.
  2. The Anchovy Shop – This business is located just outside of Draynor Village. They offer a wide variety of Anchovy products, as well as a great selection of shrimps.
  3. The Crab Shack – This business is located just outside of Pollnivneach. They offer a wide variety of Crab products, as well as a great selection of shrimps.
  4. The Fishmonger’s Shop – This business is located just outside of Falador. They offer a wide variety of Fish products, as well as a great selection of shrimps.
  5. The Seafood Emporium – This business is located just inside the entrance to Port Sarim. They offer an extensive range of seafood items, including shrimps and anchovies!

Draynor Village (F2P, has aggressive Dark Wizards) Al Kharid (for low level players, very hard to get attacked) Barbarian Outpost (best P2P)

Shrimps and anchovies are low level fish that require level 1 and 15 Fishing respectively, along with a small fishing net in order to be caught.

Small net fishing is usually not something that a lot of players do because of the unremarkable rates of experience per hour.

Still, the catches themselves can fetch a small price on the G.E. So it’s a perfectly fine early-game money-maker for new accounts straight out of Tutorial island!

Best Spots To Consider

1. Draynor Village

Draynor Village is quite the hub for free players.

Thanks to the Willow trees and fishing spots that are located behind the bank, this place is always hustling and bustling and full of life in almost every free to play world (especially 301).

While it’s the closest fishing spot to a bank, low level players should avoid it due to the presence of two level 7 Dark Wizards that can easily KO you from 10 hp.

2. Al Kharid

Al Kharid serves as the substitute for free players that don’t want to lose their life to Draynor’s Dark Wizards.

Just a few steps south of the bank are a couple of fishing spots, full to the brim with juicy shrimps and anchovies for you to catch!

There’s a scorpion that patrols the area to the east, but it’s very hard for it to reach the fishing spots.

3. Barbarian Outpost

While my calculations test might be off by a few milliseconds, after test-running back and forth from and to the bank at multiple fishing spots, I’ve come to the conclusion that this is probably the best spot for small net fishing.

The fishing spots here are located west and just outside the Outpost, right besides a few Willow trees (what’s with willows and shrimps anyway?).

Reaching the Barbarian Outpost can be done easily through the use of a Game’s Necklace, or the Minigame Teleport once every 30 minutes.

Extra Knowledge for Novice Anglers

Before you dip your toes in the literal grand-sea of fishing, here are a couple of tips to get you started on your journey:

Rada’s Blessing from the Kourend and Kebos diary has a chance of doubling your catch. It starts off at 2% and maxes out at 8% with the elite diary. The Dragon Harpoon’s special attack can temporarily boost your fishing level by +3. A 2,5% experience boost can be achieved by wearing all the pieces of the Angler’s Outfit. The Fish Barrel from Tempoross can store a combined total of 28 fish, essentially doubling your inventory and cutting banking trips down by half!
