South Padre Island's Kingfisher Taxidermy Gyotaku & Fish Arts | |
 Home of the Fish Experts
"Kingfisher Taxidermy, Gyotaku & Other Fine Arts" We are the fish experts because all we do is fish! Skin Mounting is a type of taxidermy, which uses the actual fish. It is your fish on the wall. The tongue, teeth, gills, skin, jaw, fins, tail, all are real. This is a labor-intensive process, which many taxidermists no longer offer. Not only do we offer this old school style of taxidermy, we’ve combined the process with modern technique and materials, giving you a more durable, longer lasting, and more "real" trophy mount. 
Fiberglass Replicas are a big hit with conservationists. Many fishermen and anglers love to release their catches, saving valuable brood stock and ensuring future generations that they’ll have trophies to catch. Replicas are also great for those of you who like to eat your fish! Our fiberglass replicas are painted by hand, meticulously matching your photograph. The colors and patterns are so realistic, no one will think it’s not the real thing.Gyotaku Fish Rubbings are the third type of taxidermy we offer at Kingfisher. Not only do you get to enjoy eating your fish, as the process uses non-toxic ink, these beautiful pieces of art are appropriate in any room of your home or office. They are made from your fish, so "What you See, is What you Caught", and we consider this form of taxidermy as elevated to fine art. Kingfisher Taxidermy and Sandy Margret invite you to stop in and see incredible fish in all stages of processing. Work is done on premises, and the studio is wide open. We handle all species of fish, bay and offshore, including freshwater species. You won’t find a better fish taxidermist because all we do is fish! |
