Not my neighborhood although I have sold them to a few local taxidermists. Most are sold out of state and are sold frozen vacuum sealed to taxidermists all over the country as far away as Hawaii. The key is a taxidermy website I go to to sell them that is frequented by taxidermists all over North American and Europe. If I have what they want I've sold them as fast as 4 minutes from posting to Paypal.
I also have a good reputation I've developed over the years and freeze them a special way after several measurements are taken, any potential flaws listed, and weighed on a certified scale etc. Some esoteric knowledge I've learned being a fish specialist.
Fish are shipped in custom insulated boxes with a corresponding paper trail. I also know what states I cannot sell them to. There are some southern states that only allow the sale of gamefish for stocking. No exceptions. I've sent written queries (surveys) to all 50 states with responses in writing other than the ones that refuse to respond.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
