Raw anchovies
Raw anchovies is a free-to-play item, with a high alchemy value of 9 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Raw anchovies is to buy it: Gerrant's Fishy Business in Port Sarim sells it for 16 coins, and 5 other shops stock it too.

Ironman verdict
Only one monster drops it: H.A.M. Guard (level 30), at 2/110 (about one every 28 kills). You can also make it yourself: it takes 15 Fishing and gives 40 Fishing XP. Other sources include Fishing Trawler, Fishing spot (small fishing net, bait) and Ghotistix. Reaching level 15 Fishing takes 2,411 XP in total; the Fishing calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Fishing guide has the Ironman training route. 2 recipes use Raw anchovies, including Anchovies and Fishy mush. Raw anchovies is available on free-to-play worlds too. 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 9 coins, which is 7 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
