We’ve got LIVE BLUE CRABS at Platt’s Seafood THIS MORNING! Fresh, feisty, and ready for the pot!

But y’all know how this goes… when they’re gone, they’re GONE. And these beauties never stick around long!

Don’t wait until this afternoon and ask, “Y’all still got crabs?”



COME GET ’EM NOW!

🦀Meet CJ, he’s a PLATT’S SEAFOOD LOCAL LEGEND!🦀

CJ is part of the fabric of this little stretch of coast.

Raised on the river in Calabash, NC, CJ has spent the past 15 years fishing, clamming, oystering, and crabbing for Platt’s Seafood.

At 79 years young, he’s still up before dawn heading out on the water to catch blue crabs. That’s not just a job, it’s a way of life.

CJ and Timmy Platt have been close friends for many years, and CJ truly is “salt of the earth” — hardworking, humble, kind, and full of local coastal history. If you ever meet him, say hello and ask a question or two… you might get a great story in return.

And speaking of early mornings… CJ just brought us a huge load of beautiful LOCAL BLUE CRABS!

Come get them while they last — when CJ delivers crabs like these, they don’t stay long.

Thank you, Mr. CJ, for 15 years of friendship and for keeping Platt’s supplied with the best our local waters have to offer.

Fresh From Local Waters — and this time, you know exactly who caught them.

🐷🎣 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! 🦀
