I Would Eat The Hell Out Of This Blue Lobster

FOX 5- Bright blue isn’t a color most people would associate with lobsters but one restaurant on Cape Cod in Massachusetts managed to buck that trend when it received an incredibly rare blue lobster.

Arnold’s Lobster and Clam Bar owner Nathan Nickerson III snapped photos of the azure discovery and posted on Facebook on June 8 that the crustacean was caught in the Atlantic before being delivered to their restaurant.

However, if you’re wondering how a blue lobster would taste you’ll have to settle for using your imagination. Arnold’s is keeping the lobster alive and plans on either releasing it back into the ocean or donating it to an aquarium.

The odds of finding a blue lobster are 1 in 2 million, according to the University of Maine’s Lobster Institute.

I would eat the hell out of that blue lobster. He thinks he’s so special and so pretty, dancing and prancing around in his blue ass shell while every other lobster is red. Well guess what, Larry? I don’t discriminate based on color of skin. Apparently the lobster community does, but I will never. I will boil your blue ass alive until you are perfectly tender, break you apart limb by limb, dip you in some warm, freshly drawn butter, and enjoy you with a nice glass of wine, hushpuppies, and a side salad. I swear I’ll do it.

And you know why? Because every time they find one of these specially colored lobsters, they treat it like the belle of the ball. They donate it to some aquarium or to some science lab or whatever. Fuck that. Everyone can eat a red lobster. They even named a fancy seafood restaurant after that concept. But a blue lobster? That’s when you know you’re in rare company. How many people currently living in the United States have realistically eaten a blue lobster? 10? 20? It ain’t many. I want to be in elite company. I want to dine like the kings and not like the peasants. It reminds me of the world’s most expensive bottle of whiskey.

Someone bought that bottle for $1.1 million and they absolutely should drink it. What’s the point of owning the most rare whiskey, the “holy grail”, if you aren’t even going to taste it. Anyone can stare at a bottle, but hardly anyone in the universe can try it. And that’s why you try it. And that’s why I eat the blue lobster.
