The Big Fish!

It’s the big fish of Belfast! Found on the waterfront alongside the River Lagan, this giant mosaic fish is made entirely of tiles and depicts the development of Belfast’s industries. We were quite lucky to get a picture as it did seem to be fenced off for the rest of week; partly to protect it from revel concert goers, and partly because they were repairing the surrounding road. Also it was a very quiet time of morning when we visited. It’s a shame that the fish industry isn’t represented here; I could have fancied some whelks or fresh seafood. But there is still much work to be done on the regeneration project surrounding the area; the Waterfront Hall is still being constructed. Apparently, the fish is also a time capsule which means it will be a great shame on the day that they choose to crack the fish open. Still, a great landmark to visit for daft pictures; so visit while you still can!
