🐷🎣 THE INFAMOUS HOG SNAPPER HAS CRASHED THE PARTY! 🎣🐷

Some say he looks like a pig…
Some say he looks like he pays taxes and grills every weekend…
We just know he’s one BEAUTIFUL Hog Snapper! 😂

This gorgeous fish just swam into Platt’s Seafood, and now it’s YOUR turn to answer the only question that matters…

⚖️ HOW MUCH DOES THIS HOG WEIGH? ⚖️

🏆 Closest guess WITHOUT going over wins a FREE Lunch Basket!
🥧 Guess the EXACT weight and you’ll score a FREE Key Lime Pie, too!

🍋 Want to cook Hog Snapper at home?
Keep it simple! Season with olive oil, butter, garlic, salt, pepper, and fresh lemon. Bake at 400° for about 12–15 minutes, until it flakes easily. Finish with fresh parsley and serve with roasted potatoes or rice. Sweet, flaky, buttery perfection!

👇 Drop your guess below… and remember…

The only thing bigger than this fish… is the bragging rights if you win! 😎🐟

Good luck, Fish Masters! 🎣 ‼️

TOP 3 Reasons You DON’T Want to Catch Your Own Blue Crabs… Buy Them at Platt’s Instead!

🥉 #3 – They pinch… HARD.
Blue crabs don’t care if you’re a pro or a beginner. Your fingers are fair game! Just ask Carl 😂😂

🥈 #2 – It’s hot, buggy, and you might not catch a thing.
Why spend hours in the marsh when we’ve already done the work?

🥇 #1 – Platt’s already has the freshest local South Carolina Blue Crabs waiting for you!

Skip the work. Grab the crabs. See you at Platt’s Seafood! 🦀
