In Barking town centre, there’s a statue of a giant fish. No, I am not joking. It’s called “The Barking Fish.”
It’s big. It’s metal. It looks like it’s trying to escape the roundabout. Locals have opinions about it.
Some say it’s tribute to the historic fishing industry. Others say it’s a symbol of “we don’t know what else to put here.” It’s iconic. Take a selfie.
