These Drogon Eggs are intense! They take several hours of layering the scales on the wood egg interior to create a magical effect. The scales and bones of these fish take a long time to degrease, sanitize and whiten before they are ready to use for art. Phillip and I do consume these fish. Considered a trash fish to some, including to me, my husband caught one and brought it home. To not be wasteful, I googled cleaning and cooking the fish and learned a great deal about this amazing fish. It was delicious and the bones and scales are just amazing.  Available in 2.5 inch and 4 inch. Includes nest. Made to order. Please allow up to 6 weeks for delivery.
