Fish printing in the style of Gyotaku, a fun activity for the kids. They chose some great colors for the flounder!
The final product from the UNH Marine Docents' Build a Sailboat in a Weekend workshop--a 12' Oyster River Cat.
Boat tours were offered to show the inner workings of real commercial fishing boats.
Aside from tasty food, the Fishtival provided plenty of opportunities for folks to really see the fish found in New England waters, many of which we eat. A Fishtival volunteer shows kids the tail end of a bluefin tuna and other fish they could touch.
Some crabs and sea stars were on display.
Monkfish/goosefish are a type of anglerfish that use their pectoral fins to "walk" along the bottom of the ocean. They also have a long filament they can dangle from the top of their heads to lure prey into their large mouths.
Thanks to everyone who made the Fishtival a success once again this year!
