A lobster fisherman in Maine has caught an incredibly rare, one in a 100m “cotton candy” lobster that he has called Haddie and has now saved from being put in a cooking pot.

In a Facebook post, Get Maine Lobster, a seafood company, said Bill Coppersmith found the rare cotton candy lobster during a recent day of fishing.

Appealing for interested aquariums to get in touch, the company added: “Currently, Haddie is hanging out in our tank at the wharf. We want to make sure she lives the rest of her life in safety and comfort

Seeking home for lobster who he removed from it's home. Amazing how eating this lobster after boiling it alive is wrong... because the shell color is rare. Truth be told, that lobster was known to be an asshole in the local lobster community.

Return this lobster to the sea and let this become an evolutionary adaptation to prevent becoming the filling in a lobster roll . . .

If I think too much, I tend to get a little skeeved out about eating animals. But for some reason, lobster is on a whole new level for me, so I never got into it. Feels like I'm eating an overgrown cockroach.

Anything that requires being dunked in melted butter is not good food.

There was a Clint Eastwood western movie where he was served lobster. His line was "That was the biggest bug I ever ate."

I grew up in Maryland, eating Blue Crab, cooking Blue Crab and even fishing for them. Crabs - no problem. Lobsters - very hard for me to cook those guys….
