Yellow lobster

USAtoday wrote:EASTHAM, Mass. (AP) — This lobster will catch your eye, but not because you're imagining its tail dipped in butter. It is bright orange and yellow, even though it's never been near a boiling pot.

Specialists tell The Boston Globe it's called a "yellow lobster" and it's one in 30 million.

The lobster now named Fiona was recently caught off Canada. It was given by a friend to Nathan Nickerson, the owner of Arnold's Lobster and Clam Bar in Eastham, on Cape Cod.

New England Aquarium director of research Michael Tlusty says a rare genetic mutation produces yellow lobsters.

Life isn't easy for such animals. Their bright colors make it easy for predators to spot them.

Nickerson said the human predators at his restaurant will never get Fiona. He said it would be like steaming a Rembrandt.

Yeah, it looked orange to me, too...but the thing is that it was orangey-yellow before being cooked >.<

I saw that. I love that, and such a pretty name. XD I panicked at first though, I thought, "Oh no! If it's in the wrong country it's going to get auctioned off as a meal to the highest bidder!"

I was happily relieved.

Also, lobsters have three pigments, and depending on the mutation they can be many different colors, two-toned because they grow symmetrical, or albino.

@ Azier-Don't do it! It's a mutation! If you eat it, you may become one of the X-Men!

Does lobster taste like crab? Because I HATE crab... In any case... Cool, I guess. For us. Not the lobster.
