Restaurant donates rare lobster to honor Blues’ Stanley Cup win

It’s no fish tale: A Massachusetts restaurant owner found an ultra-rare blue lobster — and plans to donate it in honor of the St. Louis Blues’ Stanley Cup win.

Nathan Nickerson III spotted the 1-in-2-million crustacean at Arnold’s Lobster and Clam Bar in Eastham this week, according to CNN.

“I said, ‘I think we have something special here.’ I couldn’t believe the color,” Nickerson told the station. “Everyone was circling around it, just wondering, ‘How did this happen?’”

He said he’ll donate the clawed oddball to an aquarium in St Louis in a nod to the city’s hockey team, which on Wednesday beat the Boston Bruins in the Stanley Cup finals.

He’ll first keep the lobster in the restaurant for a week with the hope of inspiring kids to appreciate the beauty of ocean life.

“I want the children to … be interested in marine life and this is one way to get them excited about it,” Nickerson said. “Maybe one can become the next marine biologist.”

He added, “We want this lobster to stay alive and stay safe.”

Roughly 1 in every 2 million lobsters is blue, according to the University of Maine’s Lobster Institute.
