Over 2700 cans were used in the construction of the fish made entirely from cans of tuna and water constructed of cans of chicken broth.

All cans used in creating the structure go to the Great Plains Food Bank. CANstruction begin in 1992 and is a nationwide design/build competition with teams of Architects, Engineers, Interior Designers and students.
