Salmons hanging from wooden racks in hunters’ camps or fishing villages will never be the same with this high-quality model and texture replacer. Bringing to life the traditional Nordic way of drying and preserving fish, this mod adds an extra layer of authenticity to Skyrim’s rustic kitchens and riverside settlements.

This mod offers 2 new highly detailed models, 4k textures and 2k normal maps for Skyrim's vanilla 2 hanging dead salmon variants, originally released in low quality models and using textures and normal maps with a very low resolution of 256 x 128, making the hanging dead salmons ugly, dated and blurry (as seen in the comparative images in this description). Due to the poor quality of the models, a detailed re-texture of them was never possible, so I decided not only to bring new textures, but also to make completely new models, adapted to the current Skyrim modding standards.

This mod not only stays true to the original concept, but makes the hanging dead salmons' appearance even better embedded in the overall Skyrim setting. The mod is completely .esp free, so just install the models and textures, and final
