Wish I could have captured the anal fin on this rub.

Really cool. Mind sharing the technique or process?

Nothing wrong with inking it up and getting another print out of it 🙂

Been wanting to do this, can you tell us how? Can you eat the fish afterwards?

I watched a couple videos on YouTube that were super helpful. Clean/dry fish. Set up fish on foam, pin fins out, using sumi ink paint fish using very little ink (that’s the hardest part is getting the ink right) head to tail direction then go back the other way. Gently blot paint from head to tail with sponge. Remove paint from eye ball (I just used my finger) then press rice paper shiny side down from head to tail then do fins last. Still figuring out amount of paint and rubbing pressure. And I need more foam to prop fins on that I can pin easier, the set up and position of the fish is key.
