Salt and Pepper Shad

Salt and Pepper Shad by Fishtown Signs in Philadelphia, PA

I hear that late in the afternoon the shad are biting.  Your chances are best at low tide.

The Pink Jawn

Hello and check out this fintastic sign I just finished. It’s hot pink and black with a clear gloss finish, painted intentionally to add a big splash of color anywhere she, or he hangs.

This is a double-sided wood sign measuring 24”x 12" and is ½” thick. I always use high-quality materials and deliver your fish fully assembled and ready to hang.

Rainbow Fish with Chimes

A unique, one of a kind sign for your home, office or beach house. Hand cut and meticulously painted, this fish will gently chime in the breeze and turn heads for years to come. A definite keepsake for sure!

I’m very happy with this beauty, a rainbow fish sign with wind chimes! Like all of my signs, this was hand painted and assembled in my studio here in Fishtown. It’s the first sign I’ve made with chimes and they sound great, instantly adding an element of calm to the air. This may be the first one, but it’s definitely not the last.

Stuffed Rainbow Trout

It’s a trout that’s stuffed!

There's nothing better than a stuffed fish and this trout recipe will not disappoint. Look at those two fish, they were swimming around looking for Nemo not too long ago.

Ingredients:

  • Olive oil

  • 2 medium rainbow trout (whole)

  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

  • PC Fish Seasoning powder (to taste)

  • Lemons (sliced)

  • Fresh parsley

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
On a cookie sheet, lightly drizzle some olive oil onto aluminum foil. Rinse two medium whole trout with water; pat dry with paper towel. Drizzle some olive oil on the outside of the fish and season the cavity with salt, pepper, and PC Fish Seasoning powder. Add lemon slices inside the cavity and some fresh parsley.

Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes and check for doneness. Add more time if needed. Not too much time… don’t ruin it!

Pacific Yoga Install

Here I am with Nicole McLane from Pacific Yoga in Fishtown. She called me one day and left a message, asking me to help her with a sign. It had weathered a bit prematurely and needed a fix soon. Opening night for the Philly Fringe Festival was in ten days and The Howie Hypnotize Show was being performed at her yoga studio.

I quickly went to work cutting out each of the letters by hand with a jig saw. Once that was done I stained all the boards an English Chestnut and finally glued them to a sheet of plexiglass. With a little elbow grease and some muscle from Nicole, we managed to slide out the old sign and putn the new one.

Great news, this was three days before the opening night and I didn’t fall off the ladder at the very last moment.

The light in me sees the light in you, Nicole! Namaste.
