The Big Fish

Overview

The Big Fish is a 32-foot salmon sculpture commissioned in 1999 to mark the regeneration of the River Lagan and the historic significance of its waterfront location. Created by artist John Kindness, the sculpture is covered in blue ceramic tiles depicting different chapters of Belfast’s history. Located beside the river near the Customs House and Lagan Lookout, it has become a popular piece of public art, inviting visitors to take a closer look—and a photo—while exploring the city’s story.
