| Fish [gone] Alapaha, GA |
|
 |
 |
| This Fish has been installed at Ken's Hatchery & Fish Farm since at least 2008. The business is now known as The Hatchery Fish Farm. I believe this fish is meant to represent a bream. The statue was gone by 2022. |

| Spitting Fish Austin, TX |
|
 |
 |
| This Spitting Fish in Austin was built by Bob "Daddy-O" Wade. "The Big One" was originally installed on the roof of "The Big One" restaurant. In 1993, the Hula Hut moved into the space and installed the fish in the river next to the outdoor dining tables. For $2, diners can watch the fish spit water. These photos are from 2018. In 2019, the fish was restored and repainted by Blackout Signs and Metalworks. For more, see this website. |

The original Charlie the Tuna statue was installed in Charleston in 1968. It was carved from wood and about eight feet tall. In 2008, the statue was stolen and destroyed by vandals. This replacement statue was built in 2009. This statue's fins have springs which make the statue appear to wave in the wind. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2. [map]
The wood-carved Gil and Rosie represent walking fish. I believe the statues were built in 2005 as mascots for the annual Clallam Bay-Sekiu Walk for Life. The second statue of Gil is probably more recent. It is located in front of the Olson's Resort restaurant. [Rosie map] |
