Bass
Bass is a members item, with a high alchemy value of 162 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Bass is to buy it: Fishing Guild Shop in Fishing Guild sells it for 270 coins, and one other shop stocks it too.
“Wow, this is a big fish.”

Ironman verdict
At least 7 monsters drop it. The easiest is Ankou (level 54, 14/128); the best rate is Grotworm (level 63), at 5/100, about one every 7 kills. You can also make it yourself: it takes 43 Cooking and gives 130 Cooking XP, using Raw bass. There is one other recipe below. Other sources include Gourmet impling, Gourmet impling jar, Barrel (Viyeldi caves) and Small Forgotten Belongings, plus 1 more listed below. Making ten takes 10 × Raw bass and gives 1,300 Cooking XP. Reaching level 43 Cooking takes 50,339 XP in total; the Cooking calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Cooking guide has the Ironman training route. One recipe uses Bass: Crest part (Caleb). Bass is members-only. It is tradeable on normal accounts, but an Ironman cannot use the Grand Exchange or trade for it, so the sources on this page are the whole list. High Alchemy turns one into 162 coins, which is 108 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
