Mike Wills interviews Captain Sean Amor, owner of Hooked on Africa Fishing Charters.

Listen below.

Having trouble hooking a fin-tastic piece of snoek for your Easter weekend bash?

Worry not, we're all riding the same tide.

According to Amor, we've been navigating some deep-sea dilemmas with a shortage, but he's positive that in the coming week or two, there will be plenty to go around.

If you're feeling a little too crabby and can't wait, you can always reel in some snoek from roadside vendors, but Amor cautions it might come with a hefty price tag.

"The further afield they go with the snoek, the more expensive it will be."
