Picture this: you’re out on the water, reel screaming, heart pounding, and you land a beauty of a fish—a bass, snapper, or maybe a mahi-mahi. You want to immortalize that catch, but traditional taxidermy? It’s pricey, and not every angler has that kind of budget. That’s where Fishin' Prints comes in. Our mission is to make affordable taxidermy accessible for every angler, from the weekend warrior to the seasoned pro. Our DIY gyotaku fish printing kits let you turn your catch into a stunning piece of fish art without breaking the bank.
Let’s talk about easy—these fish printing kits are designed for anyone to use, no fancy skills required. We have taken the traditional art form of Gyotaku and added our own little twist to it. Instead of sumi ink (made from burning oil taking the ash it creates and mixing it with water) we use food grade cuttle fish ink this way you can safely fillet and eat your fish right after creating your gyotaku fish print—no waste, no hassle! On top of this we use high quality sheets of cloth instead of fragile hard to use rice paper. Through our 3 years of prototyping, we have found this to be the most user-friendly materials. Each Standard Pack comes with everything you need for two gyotaku printing sessions: two packets of food-grade cuttlefish ink (the same used in squid ink pasta), two 36-by-18-inch sheets of cloth (up to two full size prints or two half size), ink dish, brush, four shop grade paper towels, and instructions, Perfect for catches like trout, flounder, bass, redfish, snook, mahi, walleye, snapper, and so much more.
But we’re not stopping there. Soon, we’re launching our Pelagic Pack, designed for bigger beasts like wahoo, Larger mahi-mahi, tuna, kingfish, large catfish, and other deep-sea and fresh water giants. This pack is built for large fish printing, ensuring you can capture every detail of your trophy catch. It’s all about giving you a budget-friendly way to preserve the memory of your catch with DIY fish art, your way, without the hefty taxidermy cost.
Whether you’re framing a gyotaku print for your wall or gifting one to a fishing buddy, Fishin' Prints makes affordable fish printing simple and exciting.
