Looks great Owen.
Any significance to using that particular fish's skin?
Seams are always fun on such stuff. Usually a nonstraight seea tricks the eyes better, but that depends upon how strong the pattern in the material is. You've a strong pattern there, so anything you do will result in a noticable seam. When that's the case, a straight seam looks better I think. So you did great.

Dave,
MAin reason for that species is

B: The scale size was right
I originally waqnted touse Barramundi, but the scales are big as your thumbnail.
