The lobster’s rare coloring saved it from becoming dinner, according to the Wellfleet Shellfish Co.
WASHINGTON — A fishing vessel off Cape Cod made a 1-in-50 million catch last week when it came back with a rare split-color lobster.
The vessel Timothy Michael hauled in the lobster on Thursday, the Wellfleet Shellfish Co. posted to social media, adding that the creature’s unique coloring is what saved it from the dinner table.
“Instead of heading to market, she’s heading somewhere even more special,” the company said.
