This shellfish has one hell of a shell.
Wellfleet Shellfish Company says in an Instagram post that it caught a rare split-colored lobster off Cape Cod, which it describes as a “once-in-50 million catch.”
“Split lobsters like this are extraordinarily rare—caused by unique genetic variations that create their striking half-and-half coloring,” the post reads.
As a result of its unique display, the lobster will be spared a trip to the market. Instead, it’s been donated to the Woods Hole Science Aquarium in Massachusetts and will be displayed for the public.
