About the Item
Vintage fish-shaped wooden filleting board with metal clamp, a charming piece of mid-20th-century coastal folk art and functional kitchenware. Hand-painted in vibrant blue and red detailing, the board depicts a stylized fish complete with fin markings and gill accents. The attached metal clamp with small teeth at the tail end was designed to secure a real fish by its tail during the filleting process—keeping it steady while being cleaned or cut. This utilitarian yet whimsical design reflects the ingenuity and artistry of traditional maritime life.
Likely dating from the 1940s–1960s, this fish cutting board is made of solid wood with a smooth, well-worn patina from years of use, lending it a beautiful aged surface. The clamp is galvanized metal with a practical, industrial appeal, adding to its rustic charm.
Whether displayed in a coastal kitchen, lake house, or farmhouse pantry, this piece instantly evokes seaside nostalgia and craftsmanship. It can also be reimagined as a charcuterie or cheese board, adding a playful touch to entertaining—pair it with oysters, smoked trout, or sea salt crackers for a maritime-inspired serving moment.
