Raw herring
Raw herring is a free-to-play item, with a high alchemy value of 9 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Raw herring 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
4 monsters drop it. The easiest is Mogre (level 45, 8/128); the best rate is Dagannoth (Lighthouse) (level 77), at 4/128, about one every 11 kills. You can also make it yourself: it takes 10 Fishing and gives 30 Fishing XP, using 1 × Fishing bait. Other sources include Divine herring bubble, Magical chest, Swarm and Fishing spot (small fishing net, bait), plus 1 more listed below. Making ten takes 10 × Fishing bait and gives 300 Fishing XP. Reaching level 10 Fishing takes 1,154 XP in total; the Fishing calculator counts the actions and materials to any target, and the Fishing guide has the Ironman training route. One recipe uses Raw herring: Herring. Raw herring 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.
