This mural depicts a right hand palm toward the viewer painted in black and white against a solid light blue field holding an unusual object. The hand reaches down from above the picture. It grasps what appears to be a piece of meat rendered in red and white, with a grey and white bone being grasped by the hand. The meat, perhaps a pork chop or bone-in steak, transforms into a fish as it enters the water. The spotted fish is painted in a dull green-brown with deep blue and red details and a white eye. The water, surrounding the fish occupies the lower half of the image, is painted a deep blue with lighter blue lines indicating movement. It is signed in the lower right cornder A.S.G. A blank white area beneath the painting in cludes the date of the painting 10/'17 and in the center the words ST. PATRICK'S TROUT. Four pieces of hardware painted to blend into the painting affix the panel to a brick exterior wall.
