I have an alternate suggestion for the opal-hued crustacean:

I looked at the picture and was curious what his thoughts were.

“Therefore, Get Maine Lobster donated her to the Seacoast Science Center, where she can hang out with other lobsters and be as safe as can be.”


Show me some $$$ first.

bright blue, speckled shell, the color of fairground cotton candy.


fairground cotton candy used to be hot pinkish color. Blue doesn’t sound appetizing

I wonder if the aquarium food will cause it to change to a more normal color?

That system works for Flamingo birds. At most zoos, they are fed lots of carrots. That orange soon shows up in their plumage as pink or coral.

Has anybody on Free Republic ever eaten lobster before?

It's pretty good, once you get past the whole "shelling" thing.

I like to eat the tamale, which is basically the liver of the lobster. It's green and I have no idea what that liver processed, but it's pretty darn good.

If you like the tail of the lobster. the "poor man's lobster" is the monkfish. Now the monkfish is a pretty ugly looking fish but then, so is the lobster.

In fact, our early settlers did not think lobsters edible at all. They collected them off the beach, ground them up, and used them as fertilizer.

Who knew that 300 years later, they'd be a high-priced delicacy at the most expensive restaurants?

Growing up on the east coast there was only pink. But I was born in 1952, maybe it’s different now.

I have been eating lobster since I was aa little kid. This summer was the first in many years, I have not had a lobster roll from Two Lights Lobster Restaurant in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. The lines were too long every time I stopped by while working.

As to the “1 in 100 million” blue lobster. They find one or two of them every summer and breathlessly write about them as if no one has ever seen one. They are old hat, but a good way to promote the lobster industry here in Maine.

I have eaten lobster, and was somewhat underwhelmed.
After all that hacking, cracking and stacking, the meat pretty much taste like something between tuna and shrimp. I love shrimp. So I stick to that.

I actually prefer shrimp to lobster. Lobster is a lot of work.
