Conrad’s salmon – dubbed Happy Nemo by competition organisers – hangs alongside a dinosaur with a star on its head, a three-legged reindeer and a turkey.
Others include, a penguin, a gingerbread man and a polar bear.
Locals turned up in force to see the lights switched on on Saturday and Conrad declared himself delighted to see his Christmas salmon all lit up.
Courier photographer Steven Brown was there to capture the fun.
