OUR STORY

Here at The Fishin’ Pig, we have the finest from land and sea: savory, smoked meats and flavorful, fresh seafood! Founded by Matt Hurley, Nash, Shorty, and Jim Osborn, The Fishin’ Pig is a southern culinary combination that will delight all the senses!

Inspired by Memphis,

Southern Charm,

and a Few Friends...

It all started in Memphis, TN, the BBQ

Capital of the World, where Matt Hurley

was honing his skills on the banks of the Mississippi River. He then made the move to Virginia, opening Mulligan’s Sports Grille in Farmville. Missing the smell of a smoker,

Matt founded Grady’s BBQ,

named after his dad, in 2006.

While Matt was bringing his

Memphis-style expertise to the small

town of Farmville, Shorty’s passion for

catchin’ and eatin’ fish led to the

creation of Shorty’s Famous

Seafood & Chicken Breading

and the popular phrase;

“Catch n’ Release in the Grease”.

As luck would have it, Nash and Jim

joined the Mulligan’s family as

bartenders, introducing the Fish to the Pig.

The relationship went swimmingly and in

October 2012 they decided to go whole hog

and combine the two companies to make

The Fishin’ Pig.
