Bluefin Tuna Metal Wrap - 40"
Everything Nautical Proudly presents the Bluefin Tuna Metal Wrap - 40". Often referred to as the "king of sushi," is renowned for its remarkable taste and texture. Its rich, buttery texture and robust, succulent flavor make it a sought-after delicacy in sushi bars and high-end restaurants worldwide. It's the fish version of the finest beefsteak and definitely worth the same respect, or more. $3,000,000, that's the world record price for a tuna, paid by a Tokyo sushi restaurant in 2019 for a fish weighing in at 611lbs. (which is not in fact particularly large). Some tunas, like Bluefin Tunas, are warm-blooded, like mammals. They are able to keep their body temperature warmer than the water around them thanks to a specialized blood vessel structure, called a countercurrent exchanger. This gives them several advantages over cold-blooded. Pair the Bluefin Tuna Metal Wrap with other matching products by visiting the J. Doherty Collection where you will find more wall art, tabletop products, accessories such as notecards.
Behind the Art
The fish rubbing process, also known as Gyotaku, began two thousand years ago in the Orient. It was originally done to document species and sizes of fish. It then transformed into an art form. The Gyotaku technique allows for a truly accurate image of all the details in each fish. Simple and Beautiful.
“I use the following method to make the image look as natural as can be. First I mix up paint or ink and then apply it directly on the fish. Next, I simply cover the fish with fine paper or fabric and gently rub.”
-John F. Doherty, Artist and Owner
