Hi all, I just wanted to let you know that James isn't available right now
So keep sharing the post about the crab claws out so more people can put their guesses in, One guess per account and James will put all who guessed the right amount in the wheel and draw a winner as soon as he is back

I’ve just spent about an hour going down the comments, and I genuinely don’t think anyone has said the number yet. AS A CLUE IT IS INBETWEEN 20-30. First new comments to get it will either win it or be put in a wheel if a few of you get it (since I’m giving you all a clue 🕵️‍♀️) letssss goooooo

🦀 GUESS HOW MANY CLAWS & WIN A SACK… OR ONE OF OUR FAMOUS SEAFOOD BOILS! 🤤🔥

I’ve just thrown some fresh crab claws into a bowl to weigh them… looked down and saw 2222 grams EXACTLY! 👀😂

Couldn’t have done that if I’d tried, so let’s turn it into a giveaway…

How many individual crab claws do you reckon make up that 2,222g? 🧐🦀

Get it right and you could WIN a sack of claws orrrrr swap it for one of our famous seafood boils. Your choice! 🤤

👇 HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:

🦀 ONE guess per account. pop your number in the comments!
⭐ Subscribers get TWO guesses per account. put each guess in a separate comment.
🏆 I’ll close the competition if a couple of people guess correctly

❤️ Please give this post a LIKE and SHARE so more seafood lovers can have a go!

Tag your friends and family to get their guesses in too everyone gets their own chance, and someone might end up sorting tea for you! 😂🙌

Liking, sharing and tagging are appreciated but aren’t required to enter.

Have a proper look before you guess… there’s a few hiding underneath! 👀👇

Good luck, ladies and gentlemen, and God bless you all ❤️⚓

This week’s favourites were the seafood boils… and we can see why 🤤🦞🔥 Who’s getting their hands messy next week?!

From our family to yours thank you, and God bless 💙
