Four-Clawed Lobster Discovered at Portland Seafood Wholesaler
What do you call a four-clawed lobster? Clawdette! No really.
Ready Seafood in Portland became the temporary home to a lobster with a genetic mutation that caused it to grow four fully formed claws! The lobster was discovered in a shipment from Oh Canada.
The Daily Reporter says Ready Seafood has an in-house marine biologist who handed it off to the Maine Department of Marine Resources.
Blue lobsters are super rare. According to the University of Maine blue lobsters are a 1 in 2 million occurrence. It's hard to say what the odds are for a four-clawed lobster.
