The sailfish could have been caught in Mexico as well. I'm working on a post about those particular type of Mexican folklore masks that ended up in so many tiki bars even though they were not officially "tiki". I've got old newspaper articles from the 60s showing how they were a popular tourist item. I'm a fan of them myself and like how they added to the mongrel-ization of the tiki movement in the 60s. Tiki Ti still has one up on their wall.
