Description
A local Hatteras Island fisherman had these Barracuda heads tied to a rack on his dock, to dry out, as a way of cleaning them without damaging the bones. Once cleaned, and bleached white, skulls can sell for as much as $200 - $400. It's a time consuming process, to preserve these skulls. Barracudas are one of the ocean's most voracious predators. As you can see, their teeth are quite impressive. The end result here will be a clean, and white piece of coastal art.
