In Headington, Oxford there is the Headington shark, which since it’s in a residential neighbourhood I find really quite delightful:

Once in a while it is bound to happen. I read Neatorama every day, reporting neat and interesting things from around the world. It happens this sculpture is 6 blocks away from where I work. Great coincidence.

It’s a type of salmon, looks like coho to me. It’s located above the entrance to one of the better restaurants in Portland.

Oregon along with the west coast of Northern Cali, Washington State, British Columbia and panhandle Alaska comprise what we call “Salmon Nation” where salmon is a regional icon/food much like Maples/Maple Syrup in New England, Wheat in the plains, etc. There are huge extended political battles over salmon, how to restore salmon habitat, sovereign rights for tribal peoples over salmon, etc.

An example of how Salmon are identified with is this group:
