Look what we found

    How often do you come across a calico lobster? Every 30 million lobsters you go through, you'll find just 1.  A combined 75 years of shuffling lobsters and none of us has ever seen one.
" I just pulled him out of a crate of run" Bob says, as he walks into the office.
    What causes this color phase? Most color phased lobsters are caused by genetic changes, specifically the overproduction of a certain protein. However, calico lobsters have not been studied as extensively as say a blue lobster because of their rarity. This guy is on his way to Chicago today. I'm guessing there will be a crowd of people watching the opening of this box!
