Are you going to use texture maps or procedurals? I assume there must be some terrible problem with planar mapping a fish with a texture, otherwise that'd be what everyone does right?

Actually, planar mapping it would probably work perfectly :thumbsup:
Just unwrap it along the x-axis, and you're set ;)
The only tricky thing is getting a side view photo of a fish without too much lighting in it....

I textured the following fish with just a planar map.
Twas a quick job and it did the trick.
