Catching a karambwan is one of the tasks required in the Medium Karamja Diary, while cooking a karambwan thoroughly is required to complete the Hard Karamja Diary. Raw karambwans can also be purchased from Tiadeche's Karambwan Stall which is a popular way of obtaining the raw karambwan due to the shop's fast restock rate and relatively low price of 110-146 coins each, depending on stock. Cooking karambwans using this method of obtaining them is a popular method for ironmen gaining cooking experience and/or high level food.
