Rare Blue Lobster

The blue lobster sometimes refers to a craw fish - but mostly to a very rare kind of lobster - only 1 in 2 million lobsters are estimated to be blue. What differentiates the blue lobster from the crawfish is that instead of having two pincher claws, the blue lobster has one pincher- and one crusher claw.

The blue color of the blue lobster comes from a genetic mutation - like thealbino animals do; albino lobsters are even more rare; 1 in 100 million lobsters are - where the lobster produces much more protein than usual.
As they are rare, blue lobsters are sought after as food at restaurants.

ps. you aren't likely to find, or want to pay - atleast I wouldn't - what this costs to eat.. there are other similar things though, which you can check recipes for on my other blogs
