Massachusetts: Have you ever heard of a blue lobster? Well, the answer is no. Blue lobsters exist but they are extremely rare and one such rare blue lobster landed in a Massachusetts seafood restaurant and thankfully, it did not become a delicacy there!

The unique colour is caused by a genetic defect and Fox News estimates that only one in about two million lobsters is born with a blue colouration.

When one such blue lobster was found in a shipment of Arnold’s Lobster and Clam Bar in Eastham, last week, owner Nathan Nickerson III could not believe his eyes.

“I said, ‘I think we have something special here.’ I couldn’t believe the colour. Everyone was circling around it, just wondering, ‘How did this happen?” Nickerson told CNN.

Arnold’s Lobster and Clam Bar shared two pictures of the blue lobster on Facebook, encouraging customers to come by the restaurant and see the rare creature. The pictures have gone viral online.

It is said that the restaurant plans to donate it to an aquarium after it has been displayed there for a few days. “We want this lobster to stay alive and stay safe,” Nickerson said.
