Hilary Swank knows a good catch when she sees one.

Judging from this shot, you might think the Million Dollar Baby star had been in an epic knockdown, drag-out battle worthy of The Old Man and the Sea, as Swank was snapped on Monday holding up a monster fish at Seattle's Pure Food Fish Market.

But the 39-year-old actress didn't actually hook the big guy. Rather, she dropped into the store located in the city's world-renowned Pike Place Market to purchase some fresh seafood—including king salmon, king crab, oysters, scallops and mussels—for a dinner party she was throwing.

And according to People, Hilary enjoyed her time so much she graciously gave a thumbs up to Pure's super haul by posing for a picture with employee, Sean Lakeside Sr, who has worked at the fish market going on three decades.

No word if she took the sucker home. But Swank wasn't the only celeb getting in on all the fishy action. Spin City star Richard Kind was also photographed recently shopping at the market, as well.
