If something seems a little fishy about this seafood counter, that’s because the goods aren’t for eating. Take a closer look, and you’ll notice that these clams, oysters, and sardines are made of yarn! In this whimsical display, artist Kate Jenkins has created a feast of knitted, crocheted, and sequined fish products. It’s part of her seafood-themed exhibition, titled “Fishy Business.”

While catching the show in London, blogger Melanie Lissack captured some mesmerizing footage of the creative fish counter. In her video, you can see all kinds of knitted and crocheted crustaceans, shellfish, and fish fillets arranged on fake ice just as if they were on sale at the market! Each seafood product had its own label indicating how it was made. Some of these items were surprisingly realistic!
People in the comments were delighted by this clip from the “Fishy Business” exhibition. Many users loved the crocheted and knitted fish so much, they wanted to take some home!
“I would love to purchase a fish from here,” one person wrote.
Another added, “I would surely have to get one if they were displayed this nicely.”
You can actually buy the crocheted fish from this counter!
As it turns out, shopping at the fish counter was a very real possibility for visitors at this exhibition. In fact, one of the cutest things about the display was that guests could buy the knitted and crocheted goods!
“You order them from the counter!” Melanie explained in a response to one of her commenters.
Sadly, Kate Jenkins shared in an Instagram post that “Fishy Business” is now closed. However, you can still see plenty of photos from the exhibition on her account, including many close-ups of the fish counter!
If you’re not a big fan of fish, Kate creates a variety of other food-themed knitted and crocheted items. Perhaps you’d prefer a sweet treat from this artist’s contribution to “Grand Dessert – The History of the Dessert” at the Kunstmuseum Den Haag in the Netherlands!
