Print Your Catch:
Takeo offers printing services of your catch. Fresh fish is preferred, however, prints can also be made of fish that has been frozen. It's important to keep the fish in the best condition possible, paying close attention to the fins and scales. Fresh fish should be kept cold, in a cooler or refrigerator so that once the printing is complete, the fish can still be consumed. Prices for printing your catch will vary, depending on the size of the fish. Fish prints will be mounted and matted using acid free material for preservation of the art piece. Larger pieces will require mounting by a local frame shop. Framing of prints is an additional option, making Takeo Gyotaku a "one stop shop".
